Announcement

Myalgic Encehalomyelitis:
International Consensus
Criteria (ICC)

We are pleased to announce that
the International Consensus Criteria
paper, which is presently in
accepted preprint format online in
the Journal of Internal Medicine, will
be available free online when it is
assigned an issue.

The initiative for and development
of the ICC for ME was done outside
any organization without any
financial or other assistance or
sponsorship.

We would like to thank all members
of the international panel,
representing 13 countries, for
graciously volunteering their time
and expertise without recompense
and working together to bring the
International Consensus Criteria for
Myalgic Encephalomyelitis to
fruition.

We all hope the International
Consensus Criteria will improve
recognition of Myalgic
Encephalomyelitis, promote
consistency in diagnosis
internationally, and lead to
appropriate treatment in a timely
fashion.

International Consensus Criteria
