The journal that published a 2009 study linking a virus to chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) has retracted the controversial paper. In September, the study authors withdrew some of their findings after admitting that they were based on "contaminated data," but they had since been unable to agree on the wording of a full retraction. The journal therefore took the unusual step of "editorially retracting" the work itself. CFS is a disorder of unknown origin whose symptoms include extreme tiredness, memory and concentration problems, sleep disturbances, and mood swings. There is no definitive treatment for CFS and no known cure.Paper Linking Chronic Fatigue to Virus Retracted
