ME/CFS and Medical Abnormalities - Medical Research paper. This paper details many of the biological abnormalities, dysfunctions and infection found in ME and CFS patients and research papers to support this.

ME/CFS has several subgroups, and each subgroup contains some of the above biological abnormalities, dysfunctions and infections mentioned above.
