Sammanfattning
Case definitions are essential for any disease, both in terms of reliability
identifying those that are diagnosed and those that are not diagnosed. Myalgic
Encephalomyelitis and Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. There have been a
number of different criteria proposed for Myalgic Encephalomyelitis and Chronic
Fatigue Syndrome, and a recent name change has been proposed by
the Institute of Medicine (IOM) in 2015. It is critical to develop a consensus
on a clinical and research case definition. Two studies have been conducted
at DePaul University and they are reviewed in this article. Significant reliability
issues were found for the recent IOM recommendations, and implications
of these findings are discussed.
