A Condition Aptly Known Because of Its Persistent, Relapsing Exhaustion

Question

A condition aptly known because of its persistent, relapsing exhaustion:
A) Is called myalgic cephalopathy.
B) May be viral in origin.
C) Responds to antibiotic treatment.
D) Is acquired immune deficiency syndrome.

Accepted Answer

The condition describes the symptoms of chronic fatigue syndrome, which is thought to be related to a viral infection. There is no evidence that it responds to antibiotic treatment, and it is not the same as acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS), which is caused by the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). While myalgic cephalopathy is a term sometimes used for chronic fatigue syndrome, it is not the most commonly used name for the condition.
