Chronic fatigue is one of the most common complaints. However, it can be a vexing problem in clinical practice. In contrast to serum cholesterol or blood pressure, fatigue may seem immeasurable. The management of fatigue is often complicated by the uncertainty surrounding of its cause and the frequent lack of specific therapy. Recently, criteria were established for the diagnosis of chronic fatigue syndrome. This working case definition does provide some guidance for the practicing physician.
慢性疲劳是最常见的主诉之一。然而，在临床实践中，它可能是一个棘手的问题。与血清胆固醇或血压不同，疲劳似乎难以衡量。疲劳的管理常常因病因不明以及常常缺乏特效治疗而变得复杂。最近，制定了慢性疲劳综合征的诊断标准。这个实用的病例定义确实为执业医师提供了一些指导。
