Chronic Fatigue Syndrome
Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS), also known as myalgic encephalomyelitis (ME), post-viral fatigue syndrome, or chronic fatigue and immune dysfunction syndrome (CFIDS), is characterized by severe, prolonged fatigue that lasts for more than six months.
SAMPLES CHECK-LIST:
- 2 SERUM TUBES (YELLOW CAP) with blood sample
- 1 MSA SPECIAL VIAL with stool sample (see instruction on the other side)
- 1 DRY CLEAN CONTAINER with stool sample
CFS shares overlapping symptomology with several diseases.
Intestinal dysfunctions such as dysbiosis and leaky gut likely contributes to CFS. Intestinal permeability, and the subsequent leakage of LPS into the blood, may also contribute to the chronic immune activation observed in CFS patients.
Several viruses have been associated with CFS but they are not specific for CFS; none of these viruses (i.e. Herpes virus 6 & 7, Parvovirus, Enterovirus, EBV, etc) are found in all CFS patients. Absence of detection could in some cases be explained by viral localization.

Please kindly note that for all the tests that are done in our partner labs in the USA, a full prepayment must be received before your sample is sent for testing.
Partner labs demand a full prepayment before the sample can begin to travel. Thank you for your understanding and collaboration.
It will take approx. 4 weeks to get the results from all tests, except for MSA (6 weeks) and CD56 and CD57 (48 -72 hours).
