The editors point out that medical reports of symptoms suggesting chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) has been around for centuries. Ten contributed chapters treat unexplained fatigue lasting for more than six months (part of the CDC case definition presented) scientifically, not dismissing it as some controversial "yuppie flu." Englebienne (nuclear medicine, Free U. of Brussels, Belgium) coauthors papers on suspected abnormalities in the ribonuclease L protein pathway and enzymes involved in biochemical signal transduction in CFS etiology. De Meirleir, MD (Free U., Academic Hospital, Brussels) concentrates on advances in CFS therapy and patient care. Color plates of 3D models of RNase L are among the supporting figures. Annotation c.
