Detection of MLV-related virus gene sequences in blood of patients with chronic fatigue syndrome and healthy blood donors
TLDR
The gag and env sequences from CFS patients were more closely related to those of polytropic mouse endogenous retroviruses than to those that of XMRVs and were even less closely related than those of ecotropic MLVs, which is a genetically diverse group of MLV-related viruses.

The latent human herpesvirus-6A genome specifically integrates in telomeres of human chromosomes in vivo and in vitro
TLDR
The data suggest that HHV-6 is unique among human herpesviruses: it specifically and efficiently integrates into telomeres of chromosomes during latency rather than forming episomes, and the integrated viral genome is capable of producing virions.

TLDR
While chronic, debilitating fatigue is common in medical outpatients, CFS is relatively uncommon and depends substantially on the case definition used.

Human herpesvirus 7 is a T-lymphotropic virus and is related to, but significantly different from, human herpesvirus 6 and human cytomegalovirus.
An independent strain (JI) of human herpesvirus 7 (HHV-7) was isolated from a patient with chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS). No significant association could be established by seroepidemiology between…

Chronic Fatigue and the Chronic Fatigue Syndrome: Prevalence in a Pacific Northwest Health Care System
TLDR
The results of the first study of the chronic fatigue syndrome in the community are reported, which surveyed 4000 members of a large health maintenance organization and compared the results of systematic physical and laboratory examinations and assessments of psychological distress and functional status in persons with chronic fatigue.
