Sweden The research magazine Forskning & Framsteg writes about The National Board of Social Affairs and Health's guideline for post Covid and related conditions including ME/CFS. It has received a lot of criticism, among other for not including WHO's red flags regarding rehabilitation and safety for patients. Dr. Judith Bruchfeld says this is worrying and that she also misses information on POTS and breathing problems.


From ME Research UK:

"Estimating ME/CFS prevalence in individuals with long COVID"

During the early phases of the COVID-19 pandemic, as the term ‘long COVID’ first emerged, Dr Anthony Komaroff raised a crucial question in an article:

"Will some people who get COVID-19 subsequently develop ME/CFS? … many people with ME/CFS say that their illness began with some kind of infection: a virus, a flu, a bad cold."

Key points

- Long COVID and ME/CFS have overlapping symptoms, yet many studies overlook the proportion of individuals with long COVID who meet ME/CFS criteria.

- Improving on previous research, Dr Leonard Jason and Joseph Dorri’s study reveals that 58% of their long COVID participants met ME/CFS criteria. Nevertheless, the authors acknowledged the study’s limitations and emphasise the need for long-term follow-up.

- To improve future long COVID studies, symptom questionnaires such as DSQ-PEM could aid in determining the proportion of participants meeting ME/CFS criteria.

- Given the predicted rise in disease burden and economic costs linked to ME/CFS as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, thorough investigation is imperative.
