To the Editor: The findings of Dr Fukuda et
al1 that certain symptom presentations that
clinicians are seeing may not be unique to Gulf War veterans confirms our
clinical impression. It is particularly interesting that the authors report
increased prevalences of diarrhea among individuals with relatively severe
cases of "multisymptom illness" (77% with diarrhea) and mild to moderate cases
(26% with diarrhea) compared with a low prevalence of diarrhea in noncases
(2%). They surmise that these symptoms may represent irritable bowel syndrome
(IBS).
