Is chronic fatigue biological or psychological disease
Results of a study published recently revealed that chronic fatigue is not a biological disease and psychologically, as can be determined and existence by signs in the blood
This discovery represents "the first hard physical evidence" that this phenomenon represents a "biologically disease is not a psychological disorder," and that the disease includes a separate stages, it confirmed the supervisors of this study from the Faculty of "Mailman School" of general medicine at Columbia University
The results of this study published in the journal "Science Edvacz"
And without known causes or cures, for as long as chronic fatigue syndrome formed source puzzled scientists
This disease can cause maximum levels of fatigue and headaches and difficulties in concentration and pain in the muscles
Madi Hornag confirmed assistant professor in epidemiology at the School of "Mailman School" and supervising the main study "we have to emphasize what was currently millions of people with this disease they know: Chronic fatigue syndrome is not something psychologically"
She said, "Our results would accelerate the process aimed to determine the diagnosis and the discovery of new therapies with a focus on these signs of blood"
The researchers conducted a test on the levels of 51 mark for the immune system in the blood serum of 298 patients and 348 healthy people
They discovered that the blood of patients with the disease three years ago or less contained the highest levels of molecules called cytokines
On the other hand, it was not the blood of patients who contracted the disease by more than three years contain this level of cytokines
According to the study, "the link seems unusually strong with the type of so-called cytokines (interferon gamma) linked tired followed by a lot of viral infections"
However, the changing levels of cytokines, according to the days do not explain the seriousness of the symptoms, since the patients are suffering in some days due to the symptoms of the disease while they do not feel any discomfort in other days "
He also said Hornag "It seems that patients with chronic fatigue syndrome are affected strongly cytokines levels until the third year almost, at this stage, the immune system shows signs of fatigue and declining levels of cytokines"
