  • Akureyri disease (also called Iceland disease or epidemic neuromyasthenia) is the name used for an outbreak of fatigue symptoms in Iceland. The outbreak of a disease simulating poliomyelitis took place in the town of Akureyri in northern Iceland in the winter of 1948–1949. The center of the epidemic was in the main secondary boarding school. The predominant symptoms were tiredness and exhaustion. Since the outbreak of the disease, those affected were often thought to have a psychiatric disorder such as hysteria. The disease was first diagnosed as poliomyelitis and the first case was reported on September 25, 1948, in Akureyri. During the third and fourth weeks of November, this epidemic evidently was different from epidemics of poliomyelitis. The epidemic lasted for more than 3 months and the total number of reported cases was 488. This disease, also known as epidemic neuromyasthenia, has appeared in later decades in Louisville, Kentucky; Williamstown and Pittsfield, Massachusetts; Seward, Alaska; Dalston, England; and in the 1970s at Lackland Air Force Base, Texas.

  • アイスランド病(アイスランドびょう、Iceland disease)は、1948年にアイスランドのアークレイリで流行した病気である。別名アークレイリ病ともいう。人口 6887人のうち465人が、風邪によく似た身体の重さと共に疲労・脱力・筋肉痛・頭痛・記憶力低下といった症状を訴えた。異形ポリオ・集団ヒステリーではないかとも疑われたが、1955年、イギリスのロイヤルフリー病院の医師や看護師に筋痛、脱力、喉頭痛などの症状が現れ、ロイヤルフリー病と呼ばれたものと類似していることが注目された。後に世界各地で発症した同種の症状と共に、この病は慢性疲労症候群(略称、CFS)と呼ばれるようになった。 (ja)
