[英文釋義] A group of symptoms that are two- to three-fold more common in those who work in large,energy-efficient buildings,associated with an increased frequency of headaches,lethargy,and dry skin. Clinical manifestations include hypersensitivity pneumonitis (ALVEOLITIS,EXTRINSIC ALLERGIC); allergic rhinitis (RHINITIS,ALLERGIC,PERENNIAL); ASTHMA; infections,skin eruptions,and mucous membrane irritation syndromes.
