چکیده
Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS) is a recognised human illness [17] in which patients experience severe, debilitating fatigue for more than 6 months [39] , complicated by the fact that its diagnosis is largely based on subjective complaints in the absence of reproducibly reliable tests [3]. Symptoms include myalgias, arthralgias, sore throat, headache, adenopathy, poor functional status and neuro-cognitive disorders. The causes, diagnosis and treatment of this condition remain controversial [10].
