Some patients with chronic fat

United States a study testing the blood cells in patients with chronic fatigue syndrome, after some were found in the patients with murine leukemia virus (MLV) the genetic characteristics of the virus, the study, published online August 23 in the United States National Academy of Sciences journal (PNAS). Characterized by immune and neurological symptoms of chronic fatigue syndrome is a debilitating disease of unknown etiology. Although microbial infections has been considered to be factors that triggered it, so far, scientists have not yet clearly any cause and the disease associated with.　　Shyh-Ching Lo and his colleagues analyzed from chronic fatigue syndrome in peripheral blood mononuclear cells of patients with extraction of DNA, resulting in 37 cases were found in 32 cases of patients with murine leukemia virus (MLV)-like virus gene sequences. The researchers said these findings suggest that further research is needed to determine the murine leukemia virus (MLV) whether the virus was found in the other patient populations, and whether these viruses played a role to trigger the disease.　　Together with the research papers published there is an article about this study reviews and editor Randy Schekman talked about PNAS published in review, accepted, and that the procedures followed by the paper in an editorial.
