Síndrome de fatiga crónica/Encefalomielitis miálgica

Las guías de práctica clínica para el síndrome de fatiga crónica/encefalomielitis miálgica hechas por el National Institute for Health and Care Excellence, enfatizan la importancia de un diagnóstico adecuado, así como una terapéutica precoz referida a la atención primaria de las personas que padecen este trastorno. Los pacientes pertenecientes a minorías étnicas y de raza negra presentan síntomas inespecíficos con somatización frecuente e influenciados, además, por ciertas creencias culturales como son los hechizos de magia negra.
