Whole blood gene expression in adolescent chronic fatigue syndrome: an exploratory cross-sectional study suggesting altered B cell differentiation and survival

Abstract: Background: Chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) is a prevalent and disabling condition affecting adolescents. The pathophysiology is poorly understood, but immune alterations might be an important component. This study compared…

Chronic fatigue syndrome: assessment of increased oxidative stress and altered muscle excitability in response to incremental exercise

Abstract: OBJECTIVES: Because the muscle response to incremental exercise is not well documented in patients suffering from chronic fatigue syndrome(CFS), we combined electrophysiological (compound-evoked muscle action potential, M wave), and…
