Advocates: Where was CDC for milestone in chronic fatigue syndrome research?
October 28, 2009 --
Looks like the CDC's chronic fatigue syndrome research group, led by Dr.
William C. Reeves, may have some 'splaining to do today in Washington. A
possible research breakthrough -- the discovery of a correlation between CFS
and a retrovirus related to the AIDS virus -- has fired up the medical
community in recent weeks. "This is going to create an avalanche of
subsequent studies," Dr. William Schaffner, an infectious disease expert at
Vanderbilt University, told the New York Times this month. But will the
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention play a role in that research? It
hasn't so far.
Please feel free to re-post as is. Constructive comments are encouraged and
