Pediatric chronic fatigue syndrome: current perspectives
Abstract
Pediatric chronic fatigue syndrome is an important illness as it is relatively common and also very disabling with a wide range of impacts on the child, the family, and health care systems. It is a complicated illness but the majority of children get better with specialist treatment. This literature review provides an update on the epidemiology of chronic fatigue syndrome / myalgic encephalomyelitis, including factors associated with it, and discusses the current evidence for treatment.
Keywords: CFS; ME; epidemiology; myalgic encephalomyelitis; pediatric.
