As for criminal of chronic fatigue syndrome

The feeling which thinks the son of the father, came to the point of advancing the cause elucidation of the disease which has been wrapped in puzzle. Chia Doctor John medical practitioner of American California state trance, in 1997 chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) with CFS and (* with general term of the virus which multiplies with the alimentary canal, over 60 type existence) with showed relation in collaborative research Andrew Chia of the son who was diagnosed September 13th announced the knowledge to medical magazine “Journal of Clinical Pathology” online edition.

　In the United States, or more of the presumption 1,000,000 person has contracted a disease in CFS, it is questioned. Especially, in the many disease, the fatigue of cause obscurity, sleep obstacle, obstacle of memory power and concentration, 疼 and so on, you can see various weakening characteristic conditions painfully in the woman of the 40~60 year, the multiple sclerosis (MS) with there are also times when the same obstacle it does to come. It could recognize the existence of CFS for the first time on the eighties latter half, but at the beginning the dependance (the grommet [pi] [yo] [u]) also characteristic has been doubted. It is said other than [enterouirusu] that several viruses have participated in CFS, but it was difficult to find the basis which supports the participation of the virus.

　Chia first, picking the blood inspection body of approximately 3,000 from the patient, tried to find the virus gene. The time of 5~6 year was spent, although the fact that [enterouirusu] exists in 35% of the inspection bodies was pinpointed, this is the result of picking the plural inspection bodies from 1 patients, it makes 1 inspection bodies, when concerning 1 people under 5% it was restricted to the result which is said. Because of this Chia was not the blood, while organizing direction it converted to searching the virus.

　In past research, the brain of the CFS patient who commits suicide, the muscle, was discovered from the heart, but the brain of the patient who exists and biopsy of the heart in fact the impossibility. Chia paid attention to the stomach which is the place of multiplication of [enterouirusu] then. With the contrast group it was 20% long term digestive organs condition (it is seen often in the CFS patient) targeting CFS patient 165 it appeals, vis-a-vis [enterouirusu] being positive among 82% the inspection bodies of stomach biopsy and the result and the CFS patient who carry out endoscope inspection. As for first infection several years ago (before the longest 20 years) the patient who is was many.

　That everyone while paying attention in only the blood, Chia paying attention to the alimentary canal was connected to the discovery of the virus, a certain specialist points out. [enterouirusu] is no more than a portion of the cause of CFS, but the thought of assuming that CFS is the infection characteristic disease, when it is something which makes the world agree upon Chia calls. Andrew Chia of the son now has recovered, but Chia has expressed “if the son was not, there was no this research”, that.
