Abstract
Virus infections promoting Chronic Fatigue can be diagnosed by assessing the 2'-5'A/RNase L pathway, including measurement of 2'-5'A oligonucleotide levels in the patient's circulating peripheral leucocytes, and comparing these resuls with those of healthy individuals. Double-stranded RNAs, notably mismatched dsRNAs, when administered in appropriate amounts, increase the 2'-5'A and normalize the antiviral pathway in patients with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and improve the clinical symptoms.
