==ME/CFS== Lam et al. (2009) conducted a large long-term follow up of people needing hospital treatment for SARS in [[Hong Kong]], and found that 40% reported [[chronic fatigue]], and 27% of them and met the CDC's criteria for [[chronic fatigue syndrome]], sometimes called ME/CFS, one year after recovery from SARS.<ref name="Lam2009" /> This study found that the use of [[corticosteroid]]s (steroids) in treating SARS was not associated with an increased likelihood of chronic fatigue, and the high rates of [[mental illness|psychiatric problems]] did not explain high rates of chronic fatigue.<ref name="Lam2009" /> Moldofsky et al. (2011) assessed 21 survivors of SARS from Toronto, [[Canada]], who remained too ill to return to work, stating that ''chronic post-SARS'' was similar to [[fibromyalgia]].<ref name="Moldofsky2011" /> {{See also|1=myalgic encephalomyelitis|2=Myalgic Encephalomyelitis (ME)|3=chronic fatigue syndrome|4=Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS)}}
