• Abstract:

  ABSTRACT: Myalgic encephalomyelitis (ME) is a complex and debilitating condition characterized by chronic fatigue that does not improve with rest, affecting millions of people around the world. With more recent studies, investigating social and pathophysiological profiles, the association of immunological and inflammatory dysfunction as possible causes for BD can be noted. In addition, projecting specificity at the time of diagnosis, changes were observed in the cytokine profiles and plausible 23 genes, in order to find a biomarker for the purposes of further research, aiding in better technologies for diagnosis, as well as for treatments of BD. GOAL: The current article aims to highlight the updated panorama about BD, analyzing new studies that demonstrate advances on the disease, clarifying its possible pathophysiology, clinical presentation, diagnoses and treatments. METHODS: This is a literature review on an overview of myalgic encephalomyelitis. Articles from SciElo, PubMed, MEDLINE and Lilacs databases were used. Considering the criterion of year of publication between 2016 and 2021. FINAL CONSIDERATIONS: Although described since 1869, there is still little progress in its panorama since its discovery, making more advanced research necessary to find a biological marker for the disease and thus direct the best treatment for the patient.
