Excellent review article.
Dr. Underhill summarizes research into the role of infections in ME/CFS going back decades covering outbreaks worldwide.
She presents evidence supporting the hypothesis that ME/CFS is an infectious disease; discusses the immune system & host factors; & offers suggestions for further research--

Dr. Underhill trained as a physician, surgeon & obstetrician in London & has significant knowledge of the Royal Free outbreak.
She was on the writing committees for the "ME/CFS Primer for Clinical Practitioners" & "A Consensus Manual for the Primary Care and Management of CFS" & has presented CFSAC Testimony on this topic.
Article is very timely. Should be required reading for new ME/CFS researchers entering the field, at NIH for example.
