"San Francisco was host on April 15, 1989 to the largest Chronic Fatigue Syndrome conference ever held in the United States. Approximately 500 health care professionals from across the nation attended the symposium, which was sponsored by San Francisco's Department of Public Health, the San Francisco Medical Society, and the medical and nursing schools at the University of California at San Francisco. "The disease has left hundreds of Bay Area patients so disabled that they cannot work," wrote San Francisco Chronicle science editor David Perlman in a front-page story on April 17 ("Fatigue Syndrome Still a Mystery").
