Beschreibungen/Notizen

• Diagnosis and management of chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) is a difficult challenge for nurse practitioners. The syndrome is widespread, poorly‐defined, and problematic. Despite extensive etiologic research, no cause has been identified. Each case should be carefully evaluated for possible organic, psychiatric, and other factors reported as potential causes. Clinical manifestations, possible causes, and options for management are reviewed.
