One hundred adults with a chief complaint of chronic fatigue were evaluated in an outpatient setting to determine a possible association with somatization disorder. Somatization disorder was diagnosed in 15 patients. Eight functional somatic symptoms were reported more frequently by these patients: pain in extremities, joint paint, chest pain, other pain, shortness of breath, blurred vision, muscle weakness, and sexual indifference (p less than 0.001). Current mood disorders, anxiety disorders, and psychoactive substance use disorders were less common in patients with somatization disorders than in patients without this diagnosis (p less than 0.01).

A 21-year-old woman, with a background of asthma, presented to medical admissions ward, with diarrhoea and vomiting; the clinical picture during her admission evolved to include acute shortness of breath, seizures, unsteadiness, low mood and apathy. Investigations revealed pericardial, pleural effusions, myocardial infiltration and vasculitic lesions in the brain. Although serological tests for autoantibodies were negative, an eventual diagnosis of eosinophilic granulomatosis with polyangiitis, formerly known as Churg-Strauss syndrome, was performed based on the clinical picture. The multiorgan involvement meant that the initial diagnosis and effective management required multidisciplinary input from cardiology, neurology, rheumatology, psychiatry, immunology and occupational and physiotherapy.
