Abstract
In the past few years, a syndrome of extreme persistent fatigue and associated symptoms, often including myalgia and/or disturbances of cognitive function, has been increasingly studied in a number of countries. In 1988, Holmes et al. established a working definition (Table 1) for this syndrome, referred to as chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS), in order to provide a starting point for various investigators to compare their results more meaningfully. CFS is apparently a heterogeneous collection of illnesses, emphasized by the number of names attributed to this constellation of symptoms in the literature (Krueger, see below). Since Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) has been implicated as one cause of post-infectious chronic fatigue syndrome (PICFS) (Tobi et al., 1982; Jones et al., 1985; Straus et al., 1985) and chronic EBV (CEBV) infection has become a widely diagnosed illness, a re-evaluation of CFS appears appropriate for the Third International Symposium on Epstein-Barr Virus and Associated Diseases.
