Sound the trumpets! The long-awaited day is finally here – chronic fatigue syndrome is being taken seriously by the medical community!

On Monday afternoon, August 23, 2010 in their early online edition, the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS) published the much-anticipated research article "Detection of MLV-related virus gene sequences in blood of patients with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and healthy controls" (in PDF format).

This study – a collaboration between the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and Dr. Anthony Komaroff of Harvard Medical School – found murine leukemia virus (MLV)-related gene sequences in blood samples collected from patients diagnosed with chronic fatigue syndrome and a few healthy blood donors.
