Acute mountain sickness (AMS) is usually a benign and self-limited illness that befalls previously healthy individuals who ascend rapidly to high altitude without sufficient acclimatization. In its more severe forms, AMS can progress to a life-threatening condition in which pulmonary or cerebral edema can occur singly or in concert.

High altitude deterioration means a gradual diminution in man’s capacity to do work at great heights. This is associated with insomnia, lack of appetite, loss of weight and increasing lethargy. These symptoms appear after a prolonged stay above 18000 ft. and there is great individual variation.

To the Editor.— I read Dr Houston's discussion on high altitude sickness (236:2193, 1976) with a great deal of interest. It has always occurred to me whenever reading articles about high altitude sickness that the clue to the origin of this condition lies in its name—altitude (that is, diminished barometric pressure). Human beings living at sea level

Over 10 million people live at altitudes above 4000 m in a hypoxic environment throughout their lives, often without evident clinical effects. However, millions of lowlanders, i.e. sea level residents or those usually residing below 3000 m travel higher each year. Some do so for pleasure, others for employment, to engage in warfare or to go on trekking,

We have reviewed evidence that hypoxic chemosensitivity is variable and that this variation may be both endowed, partly through genetic mechanisms, and acquired, and may reflect fundamental changes in carotid body function. This variation may influence the nature and effectiveness of adaptation to high altitude and to hypoxic disease states such as ...

High altitude cerebral oedema is a severe form of acute mountain sickness occurring at heights above 4500 metres. The clinical features are of headache, impairment of consciousness and a variety of neurological signs. The condition occurs during acclimatisation and also at extreme altitudes above 7500 metres when it is often fatal.

High altitude pulmonary edema. Med. Sci. Sports Exerc., Vol. 31, No. 1 (Suppl.), pp. S23-S27, 1999. Altitude, speed and mode of ascent, and, above all, individual susceptibility are the most important determinants for the occurrence of high altitude pulmonary edema (HAPE).
