Long read from the ME/CFS Science blog

"The immune system in ME/CFS"

https://mecfsscience.org/immune-findings-in-me-cfs/

"In this article, we have made a comprehensive overview of research findings on the immune system in patients with myalgic encephalomyelitis / chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS). In contrast to what is frequently claimed, current data do not suggest that (low-grade) inflammation is a key driver of ME/CFS symptoms."
