- Dr. Ben Katz and his colleagues studied 301 teenagers with mononucleosis, and found that 24 percent did not make a full recovery within six months of being diagnosed.
- Two years later, 4 percent had chronic fatigue syndrome -- a prevalence that was 20 times the rate of the general teenage population.
- Dr. Katz is now trying to figure out why some teenagers recover and others do not.
