Potential Mechanisms of Autonomic Involvement in Subgroups of Chronic Fatigue Syndrome Patients
by Laurie Dennison Busby, BEd
CFS often begins with symptoms of a viral infection. In some patients with a particular genetic predisposition, a virus may have triggered the development of autonomic dysfunction.
