Several reports have noted the association between a chronic illness, which is characterized by a recurrent debilitating fatigue, and anomalous serological responses to Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) antigens (28, 56). The syndrome was designated by some as chronic EBV syndrome (5, 28, 54, 56). This designation was flawed by its implication that EBV, if not the etiologic agent, was at least uniformly present and a major factor in the pathophysiology of the syndrome. More recently, the Centers for Disease Control (Atlanta, Ga.) released a case definition for what is now called the chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) (23).
