Insights from metabolites get us closer to a test for chronic fatigue syndrome

(Columbia University's Mailman School of Public Health) A study led by researchers at the Center for Infection and Immunity at Columbia University's Mailman School of Public Health has identified a constellation of metabolites related to myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome.
