==== McGarry 1994 study ==== In 1994 McGarry, Gow and [[Peter Behan|Behan]] published an autopsy study<ref name="pmid8172448">{{cite journal | author=McGarry| title=Enterovirus in the chronic fatigue syndrome | journal=Ann Intern Med | year= 1994 | volume= 120 | issue= 11 | pages = 972-3 | pmid=8172448 | doi= | pmc= | url=https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/eutils/elink.fcgi?dbfrom=pubmed&tool=sumsearch.org/cite&retmode=ref&cmd=prlinks&id=8172448 | first = F | date = |via= | last2 = Gow | first2 = J | last3 = Behan | first3 = PO | author-link3 = Peter Behan}}</ref> of a 30 year old female who had [[ME/CFS]] for 5 years and died of complications after a suicide attempt. Brain samples were obtained from the frontal, temporal, parietal and occipital cortices and from the mid-brain, [[hypothalamus]] and brainstem. Using PCR, [[enteroviral]] [[RNA]] was found in the heart, [[muscle]]s, hypothalamus and brainstem of this patient. The RNA showed an 83% homology to [[Coxsackievirus B3|coxsackie B3 virus]]. Control tissue samples taken from 8 brains (four patients who died of cerebrovascular diseases, and four others who had depression and died by suicide) showed no evidence of enteroviral RNA.
