Morgellons – Creating a New Disease
Recently the Centers for Disease Control published the results of a fairly comprehensive study of what some call Morgellons disease. This is a controversial entity - not so much within scientific circles, but because of an active group of proponents. The claims that Morgellons is a distinct pathophysiological disease, and the recent study, raise some basic questions: How do we establish that a diagnosis really exists? How are psychogenic disorders diagnosed? These are serious and complex questions in medicine.
