 Article ID: 709947 Assessment Tool Predicts Chronic Fatigue Syndrome Six Months after MonoAnn and Robert H. Lurie Children's Hospital of ChicagoTo assess risk factors for chronic fatigue syndrome after mononucleosis, researchers developed and validated a scale for rating the severity of mononucleosis. In a study with 126 college students, they found that participants with a higher mononucleosis severity score had over three times the risk of meeting two or more sets of diagnostic criteria for chronic fatigue syndrome after six months, as well as almost twice the chance of being prescribed steroids and an increased risk of being hospitalized during the acute illness. Their findings were published in the Journal of Pediatrics. Released:20-Mar-2019 11:05 AM EDT |
