Fatigue Syndrome

BackgroundThis study examines whether cognitive dysfunction in chronic fatigue may be accounted for by depression and anxiety or is due to brain pathology evident on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).MethodTwenty-six subjects with chronic fatigue, with and without coexisting depression, and 18 age-matched normal controls were recruited from primary care following a presumed viral illness six months previously. Comparison was made with 13 psychiatric controls with depressive illness on standardised cognitive tests. MRI determined the presence of cerebral white-matter lesions.ResultsNo substantial differences in performance were shown between subjects with chronic fatigue, most of whom met the criteria for chronic fatigue syndrome, and controls. Subjective cognitive dysfunction increased with psychopathology. White-matter lesions were found in a minority from all groups. Improvement in fatigue and depression coincided with improved performance on cognitive measures.ConclusionsSubjective complaints of cognitive impairment are a prominent feature of chronic fatigue, but objective cognitive and MRI abnormalities are not. Such complaints probably reflect psychopathology rather than a post-viral process.

Baseline Values

Studies were conducted in 58 patients (33 males and 25 females) aged 36 to 59 years who had arterial hypertension. 24-hour blood pressure (BP) monitoring and brain magnetic resonance imaging were performed in all the patients before and 5 years after the studies. Focal cerebral white matter lesions (FCWML) that had been absent before was found to appear in 15 (25%) patients; FCWML showed no changes in 12 (21%) patients. There was an increase in the number of FCWML in 17 (30%). The patients in whom FCWML appeared had significantly higher baseline values of BP and its time indices and, on repeated examination, they had only significantly higher time indices of BP. The findings suggest that arterial hypertension is a factor that enhances the likelihood of GCWML and that the use of 24-hour BP monitoring permits identification of a group of patients having a high risk for their appearance.
