Epstein-Barr virus infection in Desert Storm reservists

August 2, 1994

Approximately 150 U.S. Army reservists from Indiana reported
symptoms consistent with chronic fatigue syndrome after
returning stateside from the tour of duty in Saudi Arabia. A
psychiatric team confirmed the diagnosis, evaluated possible
etiology, and treated the service members when appropriate.
Those available service members who met the study's diagnostic
criteria for chronic fatigue syndrome (n = 37) received an
Epstein-Barr virus panel. Seventy-three percent of these
selected service members were positive either for an acute or
reactivated Epstein-Barr viral infection. These data suggest
that service members who suffer from chronic fatigue syndrome
may have their symptoms increased and prolonged by secondary
viral infections.
