筋痛性脳脊髄炎/慢性疲労症候群は病的疲労,労作後の消耗,睡眠障害,認知機能障害,起立不耐を中核症状とする後天性疾患で,感染症様エピソードなどを経て発症する。自律神経障害,痛み,多様な刺激に対する過敏性・不耐性は,健常者の「疲れ」と質的・量的に大きく異なる。本論では,現時点の「診断と治療の考え方」を紹介するとともに,「免疫異常」「脳画像異常」を捉えようとする研究活動についても触れる。
Abstract
Myalgic encephalitis/chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS) is an acquired intractable disease characterized by profound fatigue, post-exertional malaise, sleep disturbance, cognitive impairment, and orthostatic intolerance, among other features. The onset often follows an infectious episode. Importantly, the various types of autonomic dysfunctions, pain, and intolerance to various stimuli in ME/CFS patients are intrinsically different from the“fatigue”of healthy individuals. In this short essay, I summarize the current diagnostic and therapeutic strategies for ME/CFS, as well as the progress in the immunological and imaging research on this intractable disease.
