title: Cell-mediated immunity in patients with myalgic encephalomyelitis syndrome.
abstract: Cell-mediated immunity was measured in 33 patients with myalgic encephalomyelitis syndrome and 33 age and sex matched healthy controls, using the multitest CMI device. The multitest scores in myalgic encephalomyelitis syndrome were significantly less than the controls suggesting a T-cell abnormality in these patients.
