Abstract

Chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) is a combination of many chronic nonspecific symptoms of unknown etiology. These symptoms include extreme fatigue, weakness, weakness, subjective fever, headache, sore throat, tender lymph nodes, poor memory, confusion, depression, difficulty in concentration, and other various complaints. There are no objective pathological physical and laboratory findings in patients. Interest in this subject has increased since 1985, when some serological findings indicating reactivation of latent Epstein-Barr Virus (EBV) infection were detected in some of these patients and these cases were published. For the same reason, the syndrome manifesting itself with such complaints and serological findings has been given names such as chronic EBV syndrome, chronic mononucleosis; chronic mononucleosis-like syndrome, chronic active EBV infection.

Kronik Yorgunluk Sendromu

https://izlik.org/JA82WX24SU

Abstract

Kronik yorgunluk sendromu (KYS) etiyolojisi bilinmeyen, kronik nonspesifik birçok semptomun bir kombinasyonudur. Bu semptomlar; aşırı yorgunluk, halsizlik, güçsüzlük, subjektif ateş, baş ağrısı, boğaz ağrısı, hassas lenf nodları, hafızada zayıflık, konfüzyon, depresyon, konsantrasyon güçlüğü ve diğer değişik bazı yakınmalardır. Hastalarda,
objektif patolojik fizik ve laboratuvar bulgular yoktur. Böyle hastaların bazılarında latent Epstein-Barr Virus (EBV) infeksiyonunun reaktivasyonunu gösteren bazı serolojik bulguların saptanması ve bu olguların yayınlanması üzerine 1985'den bu yana bu konuya ilgi artmıştır. Aynı nedenle bu tür yakınma, ve serolojik bulgularla kendini gösteren sendroma kronik EBV sendromu, kronik mononükleoz; kronik monohükleoz benzeri sendrom, kronik aktif EBV infeksiyonu gibi isimler verilmiştir.
