=== Other diagnostic criteria === Several, overly broad criteria have been proposed and are in use. These criteria likely capture some patients with the disease characterized in the medical literature on [[Epidemic myalgic encephalomyelitis|epidemic ME]], exclude others, and also include patients with a wide range of other undiagnosed conditions including cancer, depression, and a range of autoimmune diseases. The United Kingdom's [[Oxford criteria|Oxford criteria for chronic fatigue syndrome]] is the broadest and likely least discerning definition. (The US [[Institute of Medicine report]] called for its complete retirement.)<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://theargusreport.com/us-nih-report-calls-uk-definition-mecfs-scrapped/ | title = US NIH Report Calls for UK Definition of ME/CFS to be Scrapped | last = Swift | first = Penny | date = |website=theargusreport.com|language=en-US|archive-url=|archive-date=|url-status=|access-date=2018-09-08}}</ref> The US [[Centers for Disease Control and Prevention|Centers for Disease Control]]'s (CDC) [[Fukuda criteria]], in use since 1994, is also overly broad. The Institute of Medicine report developed the criteria of [[Systemic Exertion Intolerance Disease]] (SEID) and although it can diagnose ME patients [[Systemic Exertion Intolerance Disease#Diagnostic criteria|with the minimum core symptoms]],<ref name="IOM-flowchart">{{Cite web|url=http://www.nationalacademies.org/hmd/~/media/Files/Report%20Files/2015/MECFS/MECFS_DiagnosticAlgorithm | title = Beyond Myalgic Encephalomyelitis/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome: Redefining an Illness - Diagnostic Algorithm | last = | first = | authorlink = | date = 2015 | website = nationalacademies.org|archive-url=|archive-date=|url-status=|access-date=}}</ref><ref name="IOM-clinicians">{{Cite web|url=http://iom.nationalacademies.org/~/media/Files/Report%20Files/2015/MECFS/MECFScliniciansguide.pdf | title=Beyond Myalgic Encephalomyelitis/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome - Redefining an Illness: Clinicians' Guide | last = | first = | date = 2015 | website = National Academies|archive-url=|archive-date=|url-status=|access-date=}}</ref> it does not describe the array of symptoms those suffering with ME experience.
