Abstract:
A complaint of persistent, debilitating fatigue in an adolescent, accompanied by symptoms that meet the recently adopted criteria for chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS), presents a difficult challenge for the clinician. This article describes the diagnostic criteria for CFS and fibromyalgia, and discusses the epidemiology, etiology, and management of these conditions.
