Abstract
This article provides primary care physicians with an encompassing approach to fatigue to help generate a comprehensive differential diagnosis. Two-thirds of patients with fatigue will have an identifiable cause that can be elucidated with a careful history and appropriate laboratory tests. Accordingly, a wide range of differential diagnoses is presented.
