AB Chronic  fatigue  syndrome  (CFS)  is  a  disorder  characterized  by  persistent  and  unexplained  fatigue  resulting  in  severe  impairment  in  daily  functioning.  Besides  intense  fatigue,  most  patients  with  CFS  report  concomitant  symptoms  such  as  pain,  cognitive  dysfunction,  and  unrefreshing  sleep.  Additional  symptoms  can  include  headache,  sore  throat,  tender  lymph  nodes,  muscle  aches,  joint  aches,  feverishness,  difficulty  sleeping,  psychiatric  problems,  allergies,  and  abdominal  cramps.  Criteria  for  the  diagnosis  of  CFS  have  been  developed  by  the  U.S.  Centers  for  Disease  Control  and  Prevention  (Table  59-1).
