Brain injury linked to chronic fatigue

March 6, 2006

BrainResearch led by The University of New South Wales’ Professor Andrew Lloyd suggests that CFS “may be caused by temporary brain injuries resulting from a bout of glandular fever.”

The University of New South Wales has a Media Release on the topic:

UNSW Media Release: Hit-and-run injury to the brain


ABC News Online has a news article:

ABC News Online: Brain injury linked to chronic fatigue


You can listen to Professor Lloyd on the ABC’s AM program:

AM: Study finds Chronic Fatigue caused by brain injury


The research paper on which all the news articles are based was published in The Journal of Infectious Diseases and is available as a PDF file:
