Revision of the IACFS/ME physician's primer

This panel session highlighted the changes that have been made to the new edition of this manual for physicians. Most of the authoring committee were present and Ken Friedman (Vermont, USA) summarized the changes. Particular important changes included a section on the Severely Ill, and a comprehensive index.

There was much discussion from the floor including a plea from Dr Lily Chu (California, USA) to include more issues relating to mortality in the next revision.

The conference was summarized by Dr Anthony Komaroff and that summary is available on line.
