A new study examines the relationship between infections from common pathogens and the subsequent risk of developing Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS). The study analyzes data from Taiwan’s National Health Insurance Research Database and finds a significant correlation between infection and the risk of CFS.
Previous serological studies have indicated an association between viruses and atypical pathogens and Chronic Fatigue Syndrome ( CFS ). This study aims to investigate the correlation between infections from common pathogens, including typical bacteria, and the subsequent risk of developing CFS . The analysis is based on data from Taiwan ’s National Health Insurance Research Database.From 2000 to 2017, we included a total of 395,811 cases aged 20 years or older newly diagnosed with infection.
The cases were matched 1:1 with controls using a propensity score and were followed up until diagnoses of CFS were made.The Cox proportional hazards regression analysis was used to estimate the relationship between infection and the subsequent risk of CFS. The incidence density rates among non-infection and infection population were 3.67 and 5.40 per 1000 person‐years, respectively (adjusted hazard ratio = 1.5, with a 95% confidence interval 1.47–1.54).
