David S Bell, MD and Editor of the Lyndonville News, is considering writing a book about ME/CFS. In the link given below, David Bell gives the first chapter of part of this new book and explores the role of infection in initiating ME/CFS.

(…) Dr Bell writes: “I would estimate that there may be more than ten causes of the process we are calling ME/CFS.”

(…) “It is the classic presentation of a previously healthy person who develops a commonplace sinus infection or bronchitis and then never gets better. That seventy five percent of all persons with ME/CFS begin this way is a reasonable guess.”

(…) “For some, the illness comes on gradually without a clear initiating event.”
