The condition of nerves among women in the small Peruvian town of Puente Piedre is described. Both nervios (a symptom) and Nervios (a disorder) describe a woman's difficulty with nerves. In Puente Piedre, the identification of an anxiety condition among women depends only on the women's age. Younger women with anxiety symptoms are diagnosed as nervios, a temporary condition ascribed to a single episode of high blood pressure. Menopausal women with similar symptoms, on the other hand, are thought to have a specific disorder, Nervios. In Puente Piedre, Nervios clearly is a folk illness limited to women of menopausal age.

We tested HLA-DR antigens in 38 Caucasian, 18 Negro, 17 Mexican, and 5 Japanese patients with rheumatoid arthritis. Significantly high HLA-DR4 frequencies were observed in all races; 61% in Caucasians, 39% in Negroes, 77% in Mexicans, and 100% in Japanese. However, no clinical correlation with DR4 was found in these patients.
