Chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS), an organic disease of unexplained origin, affects about three people in 100,000. Symptoms last approximately 2 1/2 years, and most CFS patients return to normal health. Diagnosis of CFS is by exclusion. No single remedy has yet proven consistently beneficial. Family physicians can help by providing medical validation of disability to persons who might otherwise be seen as malingerers.
慢性疲劳综合征（CFS）是一种病因不明的器质性疾病，每10万人中约有3人受其影响。症状持续约2年半，大多数CFS患者会恢复正常健康。CFS的诊断是通过排除法进行的。目前尚无单一疗法被证明始终有效。家庭医生可以通过为那些可能被视为装病的人提供残疾医学证明来提供帮助。
