ABSTRACT
In Japan in a notification from the Ministry of Health, Labor, and Welfare, the name of the disease “chemical sensitivity (CS)” was newly exhibited on October 1, 2009 (MEDIS-DC, concerning the standard name in a disease roster), and was formally registered as the name of a disease for insurance purposes. The name may be applied to everyday medical situations. This determination is likely to be good news for patients who are concerned about this illness.
