Abstract:
Myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS) is a complex heterogeneous multiorgan disease that can have severe impact on individuals' quality of life. Diagnosis of ME/CFS is based on symptom presentation, and a significant goal for the field is to establish meaningful...
Abstract:
We proposed that cerebrospinal fluid would provide objective evidence for disrupted brain metabolism in myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndroome (ME/CFS). The concept of postexertional malaise (PEM) with disabling symptom exacerbation after limited exertion that does not...
Abstract
Background and Objectives
There is a strong link between Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) and multiple sclerosis (MS), but the underlying mechanisms are unclear. Patients with MS typically have a polyspecific intrathecal production of immunoglobulin G (IgG), part of which is directed against...
