CHRONIC FATIGUE SYNDROME -- The Syndrome in Search of a Diagnosis
Sixteenth Annual S.C.N.P.I. Symposium in Hawaii on
Neuropsychiatric Issues in
The Law, Education and Medicine
Mauna Kea Beach Hotel, Kamuela, The Big Island, Hawaii
13 - 17 August, 1991
Details from: Behavioral Neurology International,
6794 La Jolla Blvd.,
LA JOLLA, CA 92037, U.S.A.
Tel. +1(619)454-2102, Fax +1(619)454-2104
Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, "Yuppie Flu", Myalgic Encephalomyelitis and
Postviral or Post-Infectuous Fatigue Syndrome are just a few of the names
that doctors and researchers have been using in recent years, to describe a
debilitating fatigue of unknown origin and duration that increasing numbers
of people are suffering from. It is a genuine case of "the syndrome in
search of a diagnosis".
A multi-disciplinary consensus meeting held at Green College Oxford in
March of 1990 attempted to set specific guidelines for use in diagnosis.
It was agreed that due to the lack of true clinical signs, two broad syn-
dromes would be defined: Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS) and Post-Infectuous
Fatigue Syndrome (PIFS), a subtype of CFS.
Because specific criteria must be excluded as well as included, the
objective of our conference is to further define these guidelines, via an
interdisciplinary approach.
