Chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS), also known by various other names, is a syndrome (or group of syndromes) of unknown and possibly multiple origins, affecting the central nervous system (CNS), immune, and many other systems and organs.
There is no simple diagnostic test; CFS is a diagnosis of exclusion, although recent research indicates biological hallmarks of the syndrome, and a diagnostic test is predicted soon.
CFS occurs more often, but not exclusively, in women, possibly due to immunological factors (women are overall more susceptible to similar disorders). CFS is most easily diagnosed when formerly active adults become ill, but it has been reported in persons of all ages, including young children and particularly teenagers.
