Discovery offers possible treatment for viruses linked to CFS

Wednesday 14 July 2010

HerpesvirusAbout.com's Adrienne Dellwo reports on a recent discovery:

Discovery Offers Possible Treatment for Viruses Linked to Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Tuesday July 13, 2010

Research Brief

Researchers believe they've discovered the way herpes viruses invade cells -- something that had long remained a mystery. The new study, published in Nature Structural & Molecular Biology, provides what they say is a detailed map of the herpes virus "cell-entry machinery." Researchers believe this finding could lead to new antiviral drugs that are effective against the family of viruses.

Three of the 8 herpes viruses are suspected of being tied to chronic fatigue syndrome. They are human herpesvirus 6, Epstein-Barr virus and cytomegalovirus.

Any potential drug therapies resulting from this work are likely many years away.
