Komaroff on Chronic Fatigue Synrome
"At a Stanford meeting
held earlier this year, Dr Komaroff pointed out that many of the
infectious agents that have been linked to ME/CFS—including Epstein-Barr
virus,[17] HHV-6,[18]
Coxiella burnetii (aka "Q fever"),[19] Ross River virus in Australia,[20] and various enteroviruses[21]—are
ones that can't be fully eradicated by the immune system even in
healthy people and/or are capable of infecting the central nervous
system. This suggests the possibility that some ME/CFS patients may have
a chronic, low-level encephalitis, he postulated."
