Fatigue Syndrome

AbstractChronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) is characterized by unexplained fatigue lasting for more than 6 months and accompanied by flulike symptoms. It most commonly affects women aged between 30 and 60 years. To date, clear diagnostic criteria allowing for unambiguous diagno-sis of CFS have not been established. We present a case of a 57-year-old woman with chronic fatigue syndrome in order to showcase the symptoms of this condition and propose a diagnos-tic protocol.

Fatigue Syndrome

In February of this year, an expert committee of the United States Institute of Medicine (IOM) released a lengthy report in which its members reviewed diagnostic criteria and proposed a new label for chronic fatigue syndrome, also historically referred to as myalgic encephalomyelitis.1 The committee’s proposed new label for this illness is Systemic Exertion Intolerance Disease. The report refers to the fact that a sizeable population is diagnosed with this illness, which causes considerable suffering and functional impairment. Many patients also feel stigmatized because of the label chronic fatigue syndrome.

The Future

Research on pediatric Myalgic Encephalomyelitis/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (ME/CFS) is reviewed in this article. Many recent articles in this area highlight the existence of key differences between the adult and pediatric forms of the illness. This review article provides an overview of pediatric ME/ CFS, including epidemiology, diagnostic criteria, treatment, and prognosis. Challenges to the field are identified with the hope that in the future pediatric cases of ME/CFS can be more accurately diagnosed and successfully managed.
