Anthony Komaroff

Doctor Anthony Komaroff is a physician and professor at Harvard Medical School in the United States.

He was quoted in a Rolling Stone article in 1987, written by Hillary Johnson, stating that he did not agree the illness was a "yuppie disease", which became the derogatory label that became commonly used later, Yuppie Flu, and is featured in Ryan Prior's documentary, Forgotten Plague.

He served as past President of the Board of Directors of the International Association of Chronic Fatigue Syndrome/Myalgic Encephalomyelitis from 1991-1992.
