More about the news

The pandemic period brought about a significant 15-fold rise in ME/CFS diagnoses. US CDC research indicates that people with ME/CFS encounter relentless fatigue, which intensifies when they follow common everyday actions such as shopping, taking part in school activities, working, and getting into the shower.

According to the team lead, Suzanne Vernon, research director of the Bateman Home Center in Salt Lake City, “Our results provide evidence that the rate and risk of developing ME/CFS following SARS-CoV-2 infection is significantly increased,” newsmax.com reported.

What more are the experts stating?

Patients experience sleeping issues in addition to problems with dizziness and cognitive limitations.

Medical teams studying long-term COVID symptoms notice many similarities to ME/CFS conditions, suggesting potential connections.

Research reveals that ME/CFS may develop after Epstein/Barr virus infections, according to experts.

Research teams used COVID study data from their long-term health impact investigation.

How was the study carried out?

Scientists studied nearly 12,000 people who had COVID before analyzing medical data from more than 1,400 individuals who never developed the disease, newsmax.com reported.

People who fight COVID develop chronic fatigue syndrome at a 4.5 percent rate, whereas those who don’t catch the virus remain at 0.6 percent.

After physical activity, patients experienced poor energy levels together with lightheadedness from standing and thinking problems.

Research demands further investigation to reveal which COVID patients become new ME/CFS cases among survivors.
