New Blood Test for ME/CFS Diagnosis
Scientists in the United Kingdom have developed a blood test that can diagnose myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS) with 96 percent accuracy.
ME/CFS is a debilitating condition characterized by unrelenting fatigue that doesn't improve with rest, and post-exertional malaise – a worsening of symptoms after even minor physical or mental activity.
Despite affecting millions of people worldwide, ME/CFS remains poorly understood, and diagnosis often relies on symptoms meeting certain clinical criteria, leading to years of waiting for many patients.
No reliable test has been available until now, making this breakthrough exciting news for those living with the condition.
