.The University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey (UMDNJ) collaborated with the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) to discover around 3,000 proteins in the spinal fluids of people who suffer from chronic fatigue syndrome and Lyme disease.
"We discovered that both diseases chronic fatigue syndrome and post-treatment neurological Lyme disease are central nervous system disorders," said Steven Schutzer, professor of medicine at UMDNJ. "They have their own characteristic set of spinal fluid proteins that lets us distinguish one from the other."
The two diseases were thought to be similar, and many people did not believe chronic fatigue syndrome had a real biological or physical basis, Schutzer said
