Central nervous system





The Central nervous system (CNS) basically includes the brain and the spinal cord.

Disease involvement in ME/CFS
ME/CFS patient autopsies have shown changes to the spinal cord.
 * Sophia Mirza's autopsy showed her spine contained massive infection.
 * Lynn Gilderdale had ganglionitis which is an infection of dorsal root ganglia of her spine, typical for a neurological illness.

Cytokines, found in spinal fluid, are increasingly found to be altered in ME/CFS patients and there are several studies by Ian Lipkin and Mady Hornig with the Microbe Discovery Project. See: Cytokine (Chronic Fatigue Syndrome section)
