Abstract

Around 300 cases of stigma have been described since the 13th century. Hematidrosis, hemolacria, bloody otorrhea, vicarious menstruation, and Gardner-Diamond syndrome are dermatological manifestations that are also observed in cases of stigma. This paper presents the disconcerting circumstances in the life of the Blessed Elena Aiello. From 1923 until her death, she suffered severe hematidrosis blood sweating on her forehead, hands, feet and knees, just as stigmata appear at the crucifixion of Jesus Christ. Stigmas, in Christian tradition, are marks corresponding to those left on Christ's body by the torture and the Crucifixion, it's said that are impressed on the person body by divine favor. These episodes, among the few recognised as authentic by the Catholic Church would appear each Friday in Lent, particularly on Good Friday. In this unique case study, doctors Fabrizio and Turano performed a medical study where the origin of the sores was unclear. Neurologist and psychiatrist Vincenzo Bianchi, on assessing the case, raised the possibility of simulation or mere suggestion on the part of the patient. Keywords: Elena Aiello, Autosuggestion, Psychology, Stigmata, Psychopathology, Malingering, Factitious Disorder.

从精神病理学角度解读血汗现象和宗教污名:埃莱娜-艾略的案例。
自 13 世纪以来,约有 300 个成见病例被描述过。瘀血症、瘀斑、血性耳聋、代偿性月经和加德纳-钻石综合征等皮肤病表现也可见于烙印病例中。本文介绍了圣母埃莱娜-艾略一生中令人不安的情况。从 1923 年到去世,她的前额、手、脚和膝盖都出现了严重的血汗症,就像耶稣基督受难时出现的圣痕一样。在基督教传统中,圣痕是耶稣受刑和受难时在身上留下的痕迹,据说是神的恩惠在人身上留下的印记。在天主教会认可的少数真实事件中,这些事件会在大斋期的每个星期五出现,尤其是在耶稣受难日。在这个独特的病例研究中,医生法布里齐奥和图拉诺进行了一项医学研究,发现疮的起源并不清楚。神经病学家兼精神病学家文森佐-比安奇(Vincenzo Bianchi)在评估该病例时,提出了病人模拟或单纯暗示的可能性。关键词埃莱娜-艾罗、自我暗示、心理学、圣痕、精神病理学、恶意中伤、虚构症。
