Research Abstract |
We investigated indoor environmental quality, immunological status, and response to olfactory stimulus regarding patients with Multiple Chemical Sensitivity (MCS) in Hyakumanben clinic “Sick house outpatient”. MCS patients lived at very clean indoor environmental spaces in their houses. The immunological status of MCS is not Th2 dominant and different from allergy. Prefrontal cortex (PFC) area of MCS patients activated by olfactory stimuli. The excess responses of PFC to odorous substances, specific changes of immune system were indicated as characteristics of MCS.
