Chronic fatigue syndrome

Nederlands tijdschrift voor geneeskunde
J W van der Meer

Abstract

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a controversial disease entity. Opinions range from non-disease via psychiatric disorder to a somatic disturbance. Somatic pathogenetic hypotheses include persisting infections, intoxications, metabolic or immunologic disturbances, nervous system diseases and endocrine pathology. None of these hypotheses has been substantiated as yet. Psychological factors are important in the course of the disorder and can be used in the therapeutic approach of patients with chronic fatigue syndrome.

Cellular Immunometabolism

Immunometabolism involves not only the way metabolites are digested by the immune system, but the way in which they can alter the pathway of the immune system. These responses occur in day-to-day healthy cell functioning, but can result in diseases, such as autoimmune disorders. Discover the latest research on cellular immunometabolism here.
