Abstract:
Despite its new name, chronic fatigue syndrome is not a new disease. This chapter reviews current definitions, emphasizing that chronic fatigue syndrome is a diagnosis of exclusion. The author also discusses viral infections that are associated with CFS, including Epstein-Barr virus, cytomegalovirus, herpesvirus type 6, enteroviruses, and retroviruses.
