本章主要涉及使用术语未分类或未分化结缔组织疾病(CTD)来指具有提示但不能诊断的明确CTD、明确重叠综合征(两种或多种CTD的表现和标准)或混合CTD(MCTD)的表现的患者的现有证据。这些患者的可能结局包括保持未分化,分化为定义的CTD或进入缓解。MCTD和非典型CTD(参与“硅胶乳房植入体”争议的parries使用的术语)仅进行简要讨论。
This chapter deals primarily with the evidence available regarding the use of the term unclassified or undifferentiated connective tissue disorders (CTDs) to refer to patients with manifestations suggestive, but not diagnostic, of either defined CTDs, a well-defined overlap syndrome (manifestations and criteria for two or more CTDs), or mixed CTD (MCTD). Possible outcomes for these patients include remaining undifferentiated, differentiating into a defined CTD or going into remission. MCTD and atypical CTD (term used by the parries involved in the 'Silicone breast implant' controversy) are only briefly discussed.
