Susan Levine's finding of HHV-8 in Chronic Fatigue Syndrome is still one of the major smoking guns in CFS research.

Prevalence in the Cerebrospinal Fluid of the Following Infectious Agents in a Cohort of 12 CFS Subjects Susan Levine Published online: 04 Dec 2011 ABSTRACT Over the last decade a wide variety of infectious agents has been associated with the chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) as potential etiologies for this disorder by researchers from all over the world. Many of these agents are neurotrophic and have been linked previously to other diseases involving the central nervous system (CNS).
