Reuters 

Reuters reports on “a new survey of Dutch doctors and their patients [that] suggests that chronic fatigue syndrome affects only about 1 in 900 teenagers – but takes a heavy toll. Among those teens diagnosed with chronic fatigue syndrome, or CFS, more than 90 percent had at least missed ‘considerable’ school in the last 6 months, with some saying they had not attended school at all during that time.” The authors also noted that CFS in teens is under-recognized by physicians. Results of the study, conducted by researchers at the University Medical Center Utrecht in the Netherlands, were published in the journal “Pediatrics.” (“Chronic fatigue rare but serious in teens”) (4/18/11)
