In what is perhaps the most significant evidence yet that chronic fatigue syndrome has a biological basis, researchers said they found an immune system signature that is present in newly diagnosed patients but not in healthy people.

The pattern, published on Friday in a paper in Science Advances, wasn’t seen in people who had been ill for more than three years, but the discovery may help identify and treat patients earlier.

What did you think of the article? Good? Bad? Accurate? Mistakes? Etc. We're having a discussion on the best articles about this study in another thread.
