Patent abstract
The present invention relates to methods and kits for the diagnosis and confirmation of Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS) by measuring elastase activity in a patient sample, preferably a PBMC sample. The assays of the invention can also be used to characterize CFS, to determine the disease stage, the disease progression, the efficiency of a therapeutic regime and/or to predict the recurrence of possible attacks. The assays of the invention advantageously allow CFS to be distinguished from other CICIDs like MS or RA.
