new research on Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Speakers:
Prof Myra McClure, Division of Medicine, Imperial College London
Prof Anthony Cleare, Institute of Psychiatry, Kings College London

Following on from a recent paper published in Science, which purported to show a link between chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) and a particular virus, researchers at Imperial College London analysed blood samples from 186 CFS patients and found that none carried the virus, casting doubt on the previous findings. The new findings are published in the journal PLoS One.
