=== Bacteria === {{Main article |page_name = Bacteria}} Others believe ME may sometimes result from a chronic infection with spirochetal bacteria, such as [[lyme disease]]. Another bacterium that has been implicated in ME is [[chlamydia pneumoniae]].<ref>{{Cite journal | date = 2018-09-05|vauthors=Tovey JE | title = Chlamydia pneumoniae infection a treatable cause of Chronic Fatigue Syndrome|url=https://www.bmj.com/rapid-response/2011/11/01/chlamydia-pneumoniae-infection-treatable-cause-chronic-fatigue-syndrome|journal=The BMJ|language=en|volume=|pages=|via=}}</ref><ref>{{Cite news | url=https://www.prohealth.com/library/new-me-cfs-study-at-stanford-dr-montoya-to-test-for-scores-of-infections-27346 | title = New ME/CFS Study at Stanford: Dr. Montoya to test for scores of Infections - Prohealth | date = 2010-06-04|work=Prohealth|access-date=2018-09-08|language=en-US}}</ref> Protein findings relating to several infections have seen found in the oligoclonal bands ME of patients.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.bjmp.org/content/role-chronic-bacterial-and-viral-infections-neurodegenerative-neurobehavioral-psychiatric-au | title = Role of Chronic Bacterial and Viral Infections in Neurodegenerative, Neurobehavioral, Psychiatric, Autoimmune and Fatiguing Illnesses: Part 1 {{!}} British Journal of Medical Practitioners | last = | first = | date = 2009 | website = bjmp.org|language=en|archive-url=|archive-date=|url-status=|access-date=2018-09-08}}</ref> The [[vagus nerve infection hypothesis]] (VNIH) accounts for why so many different infectious onsets could be responsible. The [[vagus nerve]] runs from the brain stem and throughout the body and has an impact on many body systems. Given the uncertainty regarding the cause, ME and CFS patients are barred from donating blood or organs in the [[United Kingdom]], [[United States]] and [[New Zealand]] while symptoms persist.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.meassociation.org.uk/2010/08/people-with-mecfs-to-be-permanently-excluded-from-giving-blood-in-the-uk-from-1-november-this-year-department-of-health-announcement/ | title = People with ME/CFS to be permanently excluded from giving blood in the UK from 1 November this year – Department of Health announcement | last = | first = | date = Aug 2010 | website = [[The ME Association]]|language=en-US|archive-url=|archive-date=|url-status=|access-date=2018-09-08}}</ref><ref>{{Cite news | url=http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2010/12/03/AR2010120305888.html | title = Chronic fatigue patients barred from blood donation | last = Stein | first = Rob | date = 2010-12-03|access-date=2018-09-08|language=en-US|issn=0190-8286}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.nzblood.co.nz/Give-blood/Donating/Detailed-eligibility-criteria#C | title = Detailed eligibility criteria | website = nzblood.co.nz|language=en-NZ|access-date=2018-09-08}}</ref>
