patients fecal transplantation was successful on clinical symptoms relief in a recently presented case
report [13]. The authors report 3 patients with MS who underwent between 1 and 2 weeks of daily fecal
transplants and were asymptomatic (ie. no constipation or neurological disability) ranging from 2 to 15
years post treatment. Along this line, chronic fatigue syndrome (or myalgic encephalomyelitis, prevalence
around 3,000 cases for every 100,000 adults with more females than males affected, age of onset
29–35 years) is characterized by chronic myopathy and arthralgia, headaches and mental and/or
physical exhaustion [14]. Increased intestinal permeability was found to be present in these patients
with chronic fatigue syndrome and correlated with disease severity [15]. The authors reported beneficial
effects of FMT in 60 patients with MS, who underwent between 1 and 3 days of fecal transplants, reported
a 70% success rate in clinical improvements (ie. less sleep deprivation, lethargy and fatigue
complaints) ranging from 2 to 15 years post FMT [16].
