Abstract
Chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) is characterized by unexplained
fatigue that lasts for at least 6 months with a constellation of other
symptoms.
Most cases start suddenly, and are usually accompanied by a
flu-like illness. It is a symptom-based diagnosis of exclusion, the
pathogenesis of which is unknown.
Studies have examined and hypothesized about the possible
biomedical and epidemiologic characteristics of the disease,
including genetic predisposition, infections, endocrine abnormalities,
and immune dysfunction and psychological and psychosocial
factors.
Recently, the AISA (autoimmune/inflammatory syndrome induced by
adjuvants) syndrome was recognized, indicating the possible
contribution of adjuvants and vaccines to the development of
autoimmunity.
