A chronic sore throat is a commonly reported symptom in myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS). It forms part of a range of flu-like symptoms that are very common in ME/CFS patients.[1]
Presentation[edit | edit source]
Sore throats can be particularly common during the initial onset of the illness, which often presents with flu-like symptoms. A sore throat usually appears most commonly in the morning upon waking, or during post-exertional malaise. Some patients see a sore throat as a warning sign to reduce their activity.
A bacterial or viral infection is rarely found.[2]
Prevalence[edit | edit source]
- 1995, Katrina Berne, PhD, reported a prevalence of 50-90% for chronic sore throat in ME/CFS.[3]
- 2001, In a Belgian study, 74.1% of patients meeting the Fukuda criteria and 84.1% of patients meeting the Holmes criteria, in a cohort of 2073 CFS patients, reported sore throat.[4]
Symptom recognition[edit | edit source]
- Features in the Fukuda criteria, Canadian Consensus Criteria, International Consensus Criteria
- In the Canadian Consensus Criteria, recurrent sore throat is an optional criteria for diagnosis, under the section Immune Manifestations.[5]
- In the Fukuda criteria, the symptom of sore throat can be used to help form a diagnosis.[6]
- In the Holmes criteria, a sore throat is an optional criteria for diagnosis, under the section Minor Symptom Criteria.[7]
