For chronic fatigue syndrome typical constant feeling of exhaustion (even after rest), problems with sleep and memory. Scientists at the Institute of psychiatry, psychology and neurology (IPN) king’s College London spoke about the fact that chronic fatigue is associated with the immune system – this condition may cause some reaction of the immune system.

In particular, the researchers believe that the immune system of people suffering from chronic fatigue, Hyper active and too quick to react to the penetration of pathogens into the body. This property of the immune system can cause negative changes in metabolism and muscle tissues, contributing to fatigue, experts say.

Specialists an experiment was conducted with the participation of 55 volunteers and patients with chronic hepatitis C. They were treated with interferon alpha, which stimulates the synthesis of antibodies. This therapy helped a lot, but the participants complained of severe fatigue that occurs without reason. In 18 of the 55 participants with chronic fatigue remained after treatment was discontinued, these patients and initiation of therapy was recorded increased activity of cellular immunity.

“The hyperactivity of the immune system is able to trigger specific processes in the brain, muscles and metabolism, which subsequently affect overall health and cause feelings of fatigue,” concluded the authors, adding that further study of this issue will continue.
