Myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS), an autoimmune multisystem disorder, appears to involve dysfunction in the immune system and central nervous system, and has oxidative stress as a predominant feature. It could serve as a useful paradigm and research model for investigating the impact of sustained oxidative stress on the central nervous system.
