[[File:Amolakbansal.jpg|right|200px]] Doctor '''Amolak Singh Bansal''' is a consultant immunologist. He spent most of his career, until his retirement, at the Epsom & St Helier University Hospitals in the [[United Kingdom]]. He now practices one day a week at the Spire St Anthony's Hospital near Cheam, Surrey. He has researched the involvement of [[B cell]]s (also known as B lymphocytes) in [[ME/CFS|myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome]] ([[ME/CFS]]). His professional interests are [[allergy]], [[Autoimmune disease|autoimmunity]], CFS/ME and immunodeficiency. ==Bansal Score Chart for ME/CFS== Dr. Bansal developed a diagnostic scoring system, the [[Bansal Score Chart for ME/CFS]], in order to improve the diagnostic certainty for primary and secondary care physicians.<ref>{{Cite web | url =
