Chronic fatigue and chronic fatigue syndrome

doc. MUDr. Jaromír Bystroň CSc

About 20% of population complains of symptoms of persistent fatigue. Most of the cases could be explained by contemporary medical knowledge and treated adequately “lege artis”. In spite of this fact there are patients in whom we neither can by all diagnostic and therapeutic effort establish the diagnosis nor the appropriate treatment. Such patients are classified under the diagnosis of chronic fatigue syndrome. It is necessary to realize that these patients form a considerably heterogeneous group with chronic fatigue as the only unifying factor, and this diagnosis is only provisional. It is an obligation of all physicians who are dealing with the diagnosis to contribute as much as possible from the point of view of their specialty to complex solution of problems of individual patients.

Keywords: Key words: chronic fatigue, chronic fatigue syndrome.
