Chronic fatigue syndrome

Note: This draft has been superseded by the Revised guidelines published as a supplement to The Medical Journal of Australia on 6 May 2002.

Here is the first draft Clinical Practice Guidelines on the evaluation of prolonged fatigue and the diagnosis and management of chronic fatigue syndrome

Produced by a Working Group convened by the Royal Australasian College of Physicians

This document was produced as an exposure draft by a Working Group seeking constructive criticism from doctors and other health professionals, learned professional bodies, people with CFS and their carers, and any others with an interest in this condition. The Working Group received a great deal of feedback from health professionals and people with CFS, but did not produce another draft of the guidelines.

Because many readers who commented on the draft have found it useful, the MJA will continue to make it available here.
