La página del Instituto Whittemore Peterson (instituto para enfermedades neuroinmunológicas) no deja de actualizarse en las últimas horas, atendiendo a la demanda de información que ha creado el descubrimiento "Consorcio de investigadores descubren un vínculo entre un retrovirus y el Síndrome de Fatiga Crónica" en una última actualización se puede hallar el papel de la fibromialgia en este descubrimiento y que se recoge a continuación;

"The spectrum of neuro-immune diseases including: Myalgic Encephalomyelitis (ME/CFS), Atypical MS, Fibromyalgia and Gulf War Syndrome, share common abnormalities in the innate immune response inc, which result in chronic immune activation and immune deficiency.

We have detected the retroviral infection XMRV is greater than 95% of the more than 200 ME/CFS, Fibromylagia, Atypical MS patients tested. The current working hypothesis is that XMRV infection of B, T, NK and other cells of the innate immune response causes the chronic inflammation and immune deficiency resulting in an inability to mount an effective immune response to opportunistic infections.

This discovery opens an entire new avenue of Neuro-Immune Disease related research and our discovery has brought to this field world-renown immunologists and retrovirologists building our team of collaborators to translate our discoveries into new treatments as soon as possible.

Because retroviruses are known to cause inflammatory diseases, neurological disease immune deficiency and cancer the discovery of XMRV has far reaching implications for the prevention and treatment of not only lymphoma, one of the potentially devastating complications of ME/CFS but prostate cancer and perhaps many others.

As National Academy of Sciences member and expert retrovirologist, John Coffin wrote in the commentary accompanying our landmark publication in Science "One New Virus-How many Old Diseases". We look forward to translating this discovery into treatment options!"

En este texto se recoge que el hallazgo de el retrovirus XMRV en el Síndrome de Fatiga Crónica se amplia a todas las enfermedades que son incluídas dentro de las enfermedades neuroinmunológicas como la Fibromialgia, el Síndrome de la Guerra de El Golfo ya que comparten alteraciones en el sistema inmunológico con el resultado de una activación inmunológica crónica y una deficiencia inmunataria.
