Abstract
Chronic fatigue syndrome is diagnosed through quantification of low and high molecular weight forms of RNase L in cellular extracts of RNase L-containing cells such as peripheral blood mononuclear cells. A ratio of low to high molecular weight RNase L of more than 0.15 is characteristic of chronic fatigue syndrome.
