    Though those figures relate to the whole sample. The scores of the cases are lower:

    This giardia outbreak from 2004 infected over 5 000 people, which makes it the largest outbreak in Europe. Many have reported developing ME after the outbreak. Not sure why the researchers didn't include ME in this paper.

    The University in Bergen has written the following article about the study which was published today on a news site about research:

    Forskning.no - Giardia-smittede sliter fortsatt med helsa ti år etter
    google translation - Giardia infected still struggling with health ten years later
