Abstract
This review examines research findings in ME in the light of the current debate about this multiple symptom, multi-organ, multi-system illness and the conflicting views in medicine. These issues cannot be separated from the political opinions and assertions that conflict with the science and medicine and will be part of this review since they have enormous consequences for scientific and medical research, patients, clinicians, carers, and policy makers.
Key Words: Myalgic encephalomyelitis, biomedical research, gene expression, immune response
