Clinical Trial Summary

Chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) is characterized by unexplained, disabling and long lasting fatigue, as well as pain, impaired memory, sleep difficulties and other symptoms. Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) infection might precipitate CFS. In this study, 200 adolescents undergoing acute EBV infection will be followed prospectively, and also compared with a group of healthy controls. The aim is twofold:

- To identify factors that predispose to chronic fatigue among adolescents with acute EBV infection

- To compare pathophysiological features of patients with acute EBV infection with a group of healthy controls.

Possible risk factors for chronic fatigue 6 months after EBV-infection includes:

- Severity of the initial infection

- Immune responses characteristics

- Characteristics of the neuroendocrine stress response

- Cognitive functioning

- Emotional disturbances

- Genetics/ epigenetics of candidate genes

- Certain personality traits

- Critical life events
