=== ICD-10 title === Postviral fatigue syndrome is the official concept title of code G93.3 inย the ICD-10,<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://apps.who.int/classifications/icd10/browse/2016/en#/G93.3 | title = ICD-10 Version:2016 | website = [[World Health Organization]]|access-date=2018-08-24 | date = | last = World Health Organization | first = | authorlink = World Health Organization|archive-url=|archive-date=|url-status=}}</ref> the medical classification list of the [[World Health Organization]] (WHO). "Benign myalgic encephalomyelitis" is inscribed as an inclusion, while "chronic fatigue syndrome" is listed only in the index. Since postviral fatigue syndrome is seldom used in scientific research and clinical practice, some argue it should be removed as a concept title. [[Mary Dimmock]] and Suzy Chapman for example propose to list PVFS in the upcoming ICD-11 as a synonym term under a new concept title "Myalgic encephalomyelitis".<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://dxrevisionwatch.files.wordpress.com/2017/03/icd-11-proposal-g93-3-suzy-chapman-mary-dimmock-final2.pdf | title = Proposal for the ICD-10 G93.3 legacy terms for ICD-11 | last = Chapman | first = Suzy | last2 = Dimmock | first2 = Mary | date = 2017 | website = dxrevisionwatch.files.wordpress.com|archive-url=|archive-date=|url-status=|access-date= | authorlink2 = Mary Dimmock}}</ref> The proposal of the IACFS/ME, written by Lily Chu<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://iacfsme.org/ME-CFS-Primer-Education/NewsLetters/Volume-10,-Issue-2-%E2%80%A2-April-2017.aspx | title = IACFS/ME Newsletter Volume 10, Issue 2 โ April 2017 | last = Bested | first=Alison M. | author-link = Alison Bested| date = Apr 18, 2017 | website = IACFS/ME|archive-url=|archive-date=|url-status=|access-date=}}</ref>, however suggests to retain the term PVFS as a concept title and to simply elevate the terms "chronic fatigue syndrome" (CFS) and "myalgic encephalomyelitis" (ME) to concept titles at the same level, with each of the three terms given a unique code. Both proposals to the ICD-11 advocate to maintain the classification of these three terms in the neurological chapter.
