Abstract:Background:
The aetiology of fibromyalgia is unknown; its symptoms may be related to
a T-lymphocyte-mediated response to infectious organisms.
Objectives:
First, to test the hypothesis that fibromyalgia is associated with increased interferon
(IFN)-γ-secreting T-lymphocytes after stimulation with Anaplasmataceae-related major surface proteins
(MSFs) and the macromolecular translocation type IV secretion system effector ankyrin repeat
domain-containing protein A (AnkA). Second, to ascertain the relationship i… Show more
