[[File:Abhijit Chaudhuri.png|200px|thumb|right|Source:www.nuffieldhealth.com]] '''Abhijit Chaudhuri''', DM, MD, PhD (Glas), FACP(USA), FRCP(Glas), FRCP(Lon), is a Consultant Neurologist at Queen’s Hospital, Essex Centre of Neurological Sciences since 2005 and was clinical director (2010-2011). He held the posts of Honorary consultant neurologist in South Glasgow University Hospitals NHS Trust (2000-2005) and Honorary Senior Lecturer in Clinical Neuroscience, Glasgow University. His subspecialties are neuroimmunology and neurological infections, with a particular interest in [[Multiple Sclerosis]], Parkinson’s disease and [[Postviral fatigue syndrome|Post-viral Chronic Fatigue Syndrome]].<ref>{{Cite web | url = https://www.nuffieldhealth.com/consultants/dr-abhijit-chaudhuri | title = Dr Abhijit Chaudhuri | website = nuffieldhealth.com|language=en-GB | access-date = 2018-08-16}}</ref> Dr. Chaudhuri examined [[Spinal cord|spinal tissue]] from [[Sophia Mirza]] prior to the inquest into her death. He worked with Dominic O’Donovan, a neuropathologist at Oldchurch Hospital in Romford, UK, on Sophia Mirza’s case. He stated that the changes to her [[spinal cord]] may have resulted in symptoms of [[Chronic fatigue syndrome|chronic fatigue]]. “Sophia’s case sheds light on [[Chronic fatigue syndrome|CFS]] because there were changes in her [[Dorsal root ganglia|dorsal ganglia]] – the gatekeepers to sensation in the [[brain]] – and we know that fatigue depends on sensory perception,” he says. “What we need to understand is what happens that makes fatigue more persistent, without there being an obvious systemic disturbance.”<ref>{{Cite news |url =https://www.newscientist.com/article/dn9342-first-official-uk-death-from-chronic-fatigue-syndrome/#ixzz65GuqCMEF | title = First official UK death from chronic fatigue syndrome | last = Hooper | first = Rowan | date = Jun 16, 2006|work=New Scientist | access-date = 2019-11-14| archive-url = | archive-date = |url-status = | quote=}}</ref> ==Books== *2018, ''ME/CFS/PVFS: An Exploration of the Key Clinical Issues: The ME Association's clinical and research guide, 2018 edition''.
