(Aug 31, 2016) "It can take years to get a diagnosis for Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS). However, a team of researchers from America claim to have found a unique “chemical signature” for the condition. If confirmed, it could pave the way for simple diagnosis tests, as well as better treatments."

(Sep 3, 2016) "Chronic-fatigue syndrome, or CFS, which afflicts over 1m people in America and 250,000 in Britain, is certainly chronic and surely fatiguing. But is it truly a syndrome, a set of symptoms reliably associated together and thought to have a single underlying cause—in other words, a definable disease?"

(Aug 30, 2016) People with chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) can wait years before being diagnosed with the condition, and there is no singe test for it. But a new study may have found a "chemical signature" for the condition - a set of molecules in the blood that's unique to people with CFS.
