Chronic fatigue syndrome: A blood test could now identify the condition

Scientists have found a way to accurately diagnose chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) - also known as myalgic encephalomyelitis (ME).

A study by Stanford University discovered how the inflammatory disease could be diagnosed with a blood test.

They showed that people with CFS/ ME symptoms experienced spikes in 17 proteins produced by the immune system.

The bigger the spike, the more severe the condition.
