==Case definition== In 2005, the CDC published a paper outlining the Wichita Clinical Study which stated that the 1994 CDC case definition of CFS (called the empirical definition or the Fukuda criteria) was an accurate case definition. The study has garnered much criticism for not being specific enough to exclude patients which other illnesses. In particular, there is no mention of [[post-exertional malaise]], instead they use the symptom "post-exertional fatigue."<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.cdc.gov/me-cfs/index.html | title = Myalgic Encephalomyelitis/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (ME/CFS) {{!}} Myalgic Encephalomyelitis/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome | date = 2019-05-21 | website = [[Centers for Disease Control and Prevention]]|language=en-us|access-date=2019-06-24}}</ref><ref name=":1" /><ref>{{Cite web|url=https://me-pedia.org/wiki/Reeves_criteria#Criticism | title = Reeves criteria - MEpedia|website=me-pedia.org|language=en|access-date=2019-06-25}}</ref> Since the study was led by Reeves, the case definition is sometimes referred to as the [[Reeves criteria]] although it has no distinction from the [[Fukuda criteria|1994 CDC case definition]] of CFS.
