A virus causes chronic fatigue syndrome (ME / CFS)

My article published on site disabiliabili.net

The news of the discovery of a link between ME / CFS and XMRV retrovirus (xenotropic murine leukemia virus-related virus) has been around the world in no time at all. Not only that. Dr. Judy Mikovits, director of the team of scientists made the discovery confirmed the optimism by saying that, following the published work, their studies are continuing and that, although the results in this regard have not yet been made public officially, 95% (compared to the initial 67%) of patients under investigation has tested positive for retrovirus. Even some patients with fibromyalgia have been tested and they too were positive to the same virus, even if the sample was too small to be able to draw meaningful conclusions, at least for the moment.

E 'was added that some of the patients who are diagnosed with fibromyalgia actually have ME / CFS. PNAS Recent studies confirm the correlation between the ME / CFS and the virus XMRVe why blood donation by people diagnosed with ME or CFS and 'suspended, Canada, New Zealand and Australia (it will be very short-term while Britain is "not recommended" in the U.S.. The fact that Italy is not given correct information at the national level increases the possibility of organ donations and transfusions are carried by patients unaware of the risks resulting in a and alarming increase in cases of sick ME / CFS. As a precaution, the EMEA recommended that the European ministers to stay on blood donations by patients' ME / CFS.I Italian patients diagnosed with CFS also call for greater certainty of diagnosis, and they wonder why the doctors did not diagnose in Italy prtocollo by the Canadian guidelines myalgic encephalomielitis this being recognized and categorized by the WHO.

What XMRV . XMRV is a human retrovirus that is a virus that belongs to the same family of viruses to which HIV belongs. These viruses have the genetic information in RNA rather than DNA, is inseriscono nel materiale genetico dell'ospite e ci rimangono per la vita. Fin'ora erano conosciuti solo 3 retrovirus infettivi per l'uomo, l'HIV, l'HTLV-1 e l'HTLV-2, il primo causa l'AIDS, gli altri due la leucemia delle cellule-T e il linfoma delle cellule-T. Ora si è scoperto che anche l'XMRV può contagiare gli esseri umani, così come sappiamo può contagiare gibboni, gatti e koala fra gli animali. È stato identificato per la prima volta dal dottor Robert Silverman mentre studiava i tessuti cancerogeni di uomini che avevano una forma molto aggressiva di cancro alla prostata e che avevano uno specifico difetto nel loro sistema di difesa antivirale. Il collegamento dell'XMRV con la CFS/ME è stata però per la prima volta identificato the Whittemore Peterson Institute, the Cleveland Clinic and the National Cancer Institute.

How is it transmitted XMRV . not yet know the ramifications of health XMRV or ME / CFS. It is believed that XMRV is transmitted through body fluids such as blood, semen or breast milk. It may therefore be possible to transmit it to sexual contact, by sharing needles with blood transfusions and breast-feeding, but is not transmitted by air, and no one knows yet whether it transmits more easily or more difficult than the other human retroviruses. Sharing items such as toothbrushes, razors and other items that may come into contact with blood is not recommended as a precautionary measure. Many infections can come from exposure between ancestor and maintained for generations as latent infections or infections from old experiences any sexual partner in a chain of partners. Dr. Mikovits suggested that the virus is spreading very quickly for the simple fact that people with ME / CFS "are too sick to do anything." What I know is that on average, some people with ME / CFS have a life expectancy less than those who do not live with this syndrome.

The tests XMRW. The results show that one can be infected why not dall'XMRV and have ME / CFS. The cause of CFS, so far unknown, is likely to be a multi-factorial process that occurs in susceptible persons. ME / CFS is a complex neuro-immune disease whose pathogenesis appears to contribute XMRV. However, further studies are needed to understand its scope. The Whittemore Peterson Institute has developed a blood test to detect XMRV. The test is currently passing through the sieve of the assessment and clinical validation.

Where tests are available on XMRW in Italy. was possible to test the XMRW both the hospital of Chieti, Department of Pathophysiology Medical Hospital Santissima Annunziata Chieti prof. E. Pizzigallo, tel. 0871358595 - 0871358880 that of Pisa, Rheumatology, Santa Chiara Hospital Pisa dott.sa Haun Laura tel. 0584769201-050992684 but research projects have been suspended
