Post-exertional malaise

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Post-exertional malaise (PEM) is one of the main symptoms of myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS).[1] PEM is "a delayed and significant exacerbation of ME/CFS symptoms that always follows physical activity and often follows cognitive activity".[2][unreliable medical source?]

PEM is considered a cardinal symptom by a number of the different diagnostic criteria for ME/CFS, including the International Consensus Criteria (ICC).[3][4][5][unreliable medical source?] The Canadian Consensus Criteria (CCC) does not consider PEM compulsory, rather it requires "post exertional malaise and/or [post exertional] fatigue".[6][7] The National Academy of Medicine's (NAM) Systemic Exertion Intolerance Disease (SEID) criteria (also called IOM 2015 Diagnostic Criteria) requires PEM.[8][9][10] The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) use the SEID/IOM 2015 Diagnostic Criteria on its website's ME/CFS page and list PEM as a primary symptom.[9][11]
