The importance of virus in chronic fatigue syndrome, and especially the herpes virus and XMRV retrovirus, is one of the main issues addressed in the 2010 edition of a reference conference on this disease held at the Hospital Vall d'Hebron and coordinated by the research group for Chronic Fatigue of Vall d'Hebron Research Institute (VHIR).The importance of the virus and the response that occurs in the cell when it infects seems the key between the mechanisms that contribute to the emergence of Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. This new knowledge, which was first published a year ago, has turned all the research in this so disabling pathology.
