初步证据表明，一些持久行动/伊拉克自由行动（OEF/OIF）退伍军人患有严重的身体症状。目前尚不清楚其他医疗条件是否可以解释这些症状，或者它们是否导致了功能限制。我们比较了患有CFS的OEF/OIF退伍军人和患有CFS的沙漠盾牌/风暴退伍军人，他们在各自的部署后不久就在退伍军人诊所就诊。我们发现17.6%的OEF/OIF退伍军人符合CFS的标准。与患有CFS的沙漠盾牌/风暴退伍军人相比，OEF/OIF退伍军人患有CFS的心理健康功能较差，身体健康功能相似。
Initial evidence suggests some Operation Enduring/Iraqi Freedom (OEF/OIF) veterans suffer from significant physical symptoms. It is not known if other medical conditions may explain these symptoms or if they are causing functional limitations. We compared OEF/OIF veterans with CFS to Desert Shield/Storm veterans with CFS seen at a post-deployment VA clinic soon after their respective deployments. We found 17.6% of OEF/OIF veterans met criteria for CFS. Compared to Desert Shield/Storm veterans with CFS, the OEF/OIF veterans with CFS demonstrated worse mental health function and similar physical health function.
