Results Eighteen cases were markedly effective, accounting for 47 4%; 15, effective, accounting for 39 4%, with a total effective rate of 86 8%; After acupuncture treatment, contents of C 3 and C 4 decreased significantly as compared with that before treatment (P<0.05), and CD + 4 level decreased, CD + 8 raised and CD + 4/CD + 8 ratio decreased, with significant difference as compared with that before treatment (P<0.05,P<0.01). Conclusion Acupuncture treatment can improve markedly clinical symptoms, eliminate physical signs and correct abnormal complement levels and regulate cellular immunity for the patient of chronic fatigue syndrome
