    While CFS is often a condition associated with adults, younger children and adolescents can also get CFS, and it is estimated that around 2 in 1,000 children may suffer from CFS.[1] Many of the signs and symptoms of CFS in children are the same as those in adults. Unfortunately, very little is known about CFS in children due to a lack of scientific research.
