“Vento caído” has no correspondence to any already described cultural syndrome. References to it are available only in Portuguese (Fraxe, 2004; Viegas, 2007). The description is similar to ours and refers to what conventional medicine would call acute gastroenteritis (Table 1). This seems to be a popular label originating among Brazilian indigenous, rural and riverine communities during or before the last century. It cannot be classified as an idiom of distress and perhaps is not a CBS as conceptualized in psychiatry. [inglês]

“doença do ar”, “vento caído”, “derrame” and “mãe do corpo” seem to be folk terms for known conventional medical disorders. [inglês]
