Case definitions defining ME/CFS[edit | edit source]
- Canadian Consensus Criteria (CCC) A diagnosis of moderate and severe forms of ME/CFS are accurately made using this criterion. Adults can be diagnosed at six months while pediatric cases are diagnosed at three months.
- Systemic Exertion Intolerance Disease (SEID) - ME/CFS (SEID) is accurately diagnosed when the basic criteria are met. The Institute of Medicine report as a whole is a comprehensive review of the medical literature available at time of publication (2015). Adults can be diagnosed at six months while pediatric cases are diagnosed at three months.[3]
Case definition defining ME[edit | edit source]
- International Consensus Criteria (ICC)[4] - This criterion will accurately diagnose myalgic encephalomyelitis (ME). There is no requirement that the individual have symptoms for a specified period of time for diagnosis, as opposed to Fukuda and SEID, which both require 6 months in adults.
