Differences in symptoms among black and white patients with ME\/CFS<\/strong><\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

American researchers Prof Leonard Jason<\/a> and Chelsea Torres found comparable ME\/CFS symptoms in a small study comparing Black and White patients, although in the control groups (i.e. people who didn’t have ME\/CFS) Black people had more troublesome symptoms than the White controls.<\/p>\n

Research abstract:<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Study samples of patients with myalgic encephalomyelitis\/ chronic fatigue syndrome (ME\/CFS) have primarily involved White subjects, so the literature on ethnic differences is sparse.<\/p>\n

The current study identified a sample of 19 Black patients diagnosed with ME\/CFS and compared them with White patients with ME\/CFS, as well as with healthy controls. The studies used a similar psychometrically sound assessment tool to assess symptoms in all subjects.<\/p>\n

Findings indicated there were significant differences between patients with ME\/CFS versus controls, but few differences between patients who identified as Black or White. The results suggest there might be few symptom differences between patients with ME\/CFS in these two ethnic groups. The implications of these findings are discussed.<\/p>\n
