Gulf War syndrome  

Définition(s)

  • The term Gulf War syndrome or Gulf War illness refers to a number of symptoms reported by American veterans who served in the 1991 Persian Gulf War, including chronic fatigue, headaches, dizziness, memory problems, gastrointestinal problems, and skin problems. Several studies have shown that self-reported health conditions are higher among veterans deployed to the Persian Gulf than to veterans serving elsewhere, but establishing higher rates of clinically defined diseases has proven elusive.
