  • Title: [Chronic fatigue syndrome].
    Author: Fucíková T, Petanová J.
    Journal: Vnitr Lek; 1993 Oct; 39(10):995-1002. PubMed ID: 8236872.
    Abstract:
    The authors followed up for a period of 1-14 years 52 patients with CFS who met the criteria outlined by Holmes. The group comprised 10 men and 42 women. In 15% of these patients after a mean period of 5.5 years thyroiditis was diagnosed. Complete recovery was recorded in 20%, improvement in 32% of the patients, on average after 7 years. In the course of treatment mainly immunomodulating preparations were used. Indication of these drugs was individual based on immunological examinations. The success was only partial. The clinical condition of the patients did not correlate with serological findings of IgM, IgA and IgG antibodies against VCA nor with antibodies against EA of the EBV virus.
