The article provides an overview of scientific publications devoted to the study of chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS). The results of works devoted to the study of the epidemiology of this pathology in childhood and adults are considered. The authors presented different views on the etiology and basic mechanisms of the pathogenesis of CFS, current diagnostic criteria for this disease and features of clinical manifestations in childhood. Special attention is paid to the description of the main neurocognitive deficits observed in CFS in children. Also reviewed are studies aimed at finding effective approaches to the treatment of CFS in children.
