===Only severity of the acute illness predicts ME/CFS === The most comprehensive study of postviral fatigue syndrome was organized and funded by the [[Centers for Disease Control and Prevention|CDC]] in the 2000s. The study focused on Dubbo a remote township in [[Australia]] where it is easier to follow up on medical records; 253 patients with either an acute infection with [[Epstein-Barr virus]] (EBV), [[coxiella burnetti]] (the bacteria that causes [[Q fever|Q-fever]]) or [[Ross River virus]] were studied.<ref name="Hickie2006">{{Cite journal | last = Hickie | first = Ian | authorlink = Ian Hickie | last2 = Davenport | first2 = Tracey | authorlink2 = Tracey Davenport | last3 = Wakefield | first3 = Denis | authorlink3 = Denis Wakefield | last4 = Vollmer-Conna | first4 = Ute | authorlink4 = Uté Vollmer-Conna | last5 = Cameron | first5 = Barbara | authorlink5 = Suzanne Vernon | last6 = Vernon | first6 = Suzanne D | authorlink6 = | last7 = Reeves | first7 = William C | authorlink7 = William Reeves | last8 = Lloyd | first8 = Andrew | authorlink8 = Andrew Lloyd| date = 2006-09-16 | title = Post-infective and chronic fatigue syndromes precipitated by viral and non-viral pathogens: prospective cohort study|url=https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC1569956/|journal=BMJ : British Medical Journal|volume=333|issue=7568 | pages = 575|doi=10.1136/bmj.38933.585764.AE|issn=0959-8138|pmc=1569956|pmid=16950834|access-date=|quote=|via=}}</ref> After six months, 11% of the patient sample met diagnostic criteria for chronic fatigue syndrome, with no significant differences in prevalence between the different infections. ME/CFS was predicted mostly by the severity of the acute infection, rather than by demographic, psychological or microbiological factors.
