A blood test can distinguish severity CFS/ME subgroups for research

Posted on November 5, 2015 by wames

Research abstract: Immunological dysregulation is present in Chronic Fatigue Syndrome/Myalgic Encephalomyelitis (CFS/ME), with recent studies also highlighting the importance of examining symptom severity. This research addressed this relationship between CFS/ME severity subgroups, assessing serum immunoglobulins and serum cytokines in severe … Continue reading →

COMT gene dysfunction linked to susceptibility to infection in CFS

Posted on September 11, 2015 by wames

Research abstract: BACKGROUND: Chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) is considered as a neuroimmunological disease but the etiology and pathophysiology is poorly understood. Patients suffer from sustained exhaustion, cognitive impairment and an increased sensitivity to pain and sensory stimuli. A subset of … Continue reading →

Cytokines and CFS

Posted on October 18, 2013 by wames

Abstract A major hypothesis for the cause of chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) is immune dysregulation, thought to reflect upregulated pro-inflammatory cytokines leading to the symptoms characteristic of this illness. Because symptoms worsen with physical exertion or sleep loss, we hypothesized … Continue reading →
