Yes, and that is the right conclusion. It does not alter the different conclusion that those who are breathless, and have evidence of infection,...
I agree but why then do they not champion PWME? Remember that the EDS story was primarily popularised by Hans Knoop. Basically when it comes to...
The greatest danger of the NICE committee failing to reach a sensible conclusion came from downgrading evidence quality on the pretext of disease...
