PMRV joins XMRV as possible etiologic agent of chronic fatigue syndrome
FDA, NIH Team IDs Murine Leukemia Virus Genes in Blood of Chronic Fatigue Syndrome Patients
HHS: An XMRV Toolbox
XMRV, Chronic Fatigue and prostate cancer
Characterization of antibodies elicited by XMRV infection and development of immunoassays useful for epidemiologic studies
The CDC's Absence of Evidence Study
"Lombardi et al. did not specify if patients were evaluated for exclusionary conditions, or if the study subjects met both definitions, or which patients met either CFS definition. The 1994 International CFS case definition and the Canadian Consensus Criteria are different and do not necessarily identify similar groups of ill persons. Most notably, the Canadian Criteria include multiple abnormal physical findings such as spatial instability, ataxia, muscle weakness and fasciculation, restless leg syndrome, and tender lymphadenopathy. The physical findings in persons meeting the Canadian definition may signal the presence of a neurologic condition considered exclusionary for CFS and thus the XMRV positive persons in the Lombardi et al. study may represent a clinical subset of patients [11]."
Man, I hate being right sometimes.
