Izola, countries are allowed to put out their own versions of ICD, if those versions are approved by ICD. Only a small handful of countries have their own ICDs- US, Germany and Canada I think and that might be it. I believe in the current ICD-9 CM (what the US one is called), ME or 'benign ME' appears only in the index and it says "see CFS". The ICD-10 CM and ICD 11and DSM 5 fights have been going on for quite a while, spearheaded by Suzy Chapman who blogs on it. This stuff is important and something to get back to when the redefinition fight is less urgent.
