Effects of telephone-delivered cognitive behavioral stress management intervention in CFS
Research abstract: The perceived impact of chronic fatigue on daily living (i.e., fatigue interference) is particularly relevant for patients diagnosed with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome/Myalgic Encephalomyelitis (CFS/ME), a medically unexplained illness associated with neuroendocrine and immune abnormalities. Literature suggests that fatigue … Continue reading

Altered immunity found in Q fever fatigue syndrome
Research Highlights: We explored the specific IFNγ production, and the IFNγ/IL-2 ratio in QFS patients. QFS patients have a significant higher IFNγ production than seropositive controls. The IFNγ/IL-2 ratio is significantly lower in QFS than in chronic Q-fever patients. These … Continue reading
