Breaking News: "We further hypothesise that the causative viruses [of CFS] will be human herpesviruses"
"Our hypothesis is that Myalgic Encephalomyelitis/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (ME/CFS) has a viral aetiology and
that the characteristic persistent remitting and relapsing nature of the syndrome is the result of poorly controlled
infection with one or more known viruses, possibly due to an underlying immune deficiency. We further
hypothesise that the causative viruses will be human herpesviruses as they have the key characteristics of being
highly prevalent, giving rise to lifelong infections, and undergoing prolonged periods of dormancy/latency with
periodic reactivation at times of stress or immune compromise."
