This is the authors' abstract. We don't add key points for this paper.
We reported the detection of the human gammaretrovirus XMRV in 67% of 101 patients with chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) and in 3.7% of 218 healthy controls, but we did not claim that XMRV causes CFS. Here, we explain why the criticisms of Sudlow et al ., Lloyd et al ., and van der Meer et al . regarding the selection of patients and controls in our study are unwarranted.
