Abstract Beyond their pulmonary disease, many COVID-19 patients experience a complex constellation of characteristics, including hyperinflammatory responses, autoimmune disorders, and coagulopathies. However, the pathogenesis of these aspects of COVID-19 is obscure. More than 90% of people are...

Highlights • Adolescents with CFS report cognitive difficulties. • Adolescents with CFS report more cognitive difficulties than those with CF. • There were no impairments in objective measures of cognitive function. Abstract Objective Cognitive difficulties are among the most disruptive and...

Saliva antibody-fingerprint of reactivated latent viruses after mild/asymptomatic COVID-19 is unique in patients with myalgic-encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome Eirini Apostolou, Muhammad Rizwan, Petros Moustardas, Per Sjögren, Bo Christer Bertilson, Björn Bragée, Olli Polo and Anders...

A 63-year-old woman presented with dyspepsia and gastric pain without B symptoms. She had been treated with methotrexate for 8 years for psoriatic arthritis. Endoscopy showed multiple gastric ulcers. Histological examination revealed submucosal infiltration by small- to medium-size lymphoid...

Abstract SARS-CoV-2 infection can result in the development of a constellation of persistent sequelae following acute disease called post-acute sequelae of COVID-19 (PASC) or Long COVID. Individuals diagnosed with Long COVID frequently report unremitting fatigue, post-exertional malaise, and a...

https://www.nature.com/articles/s41579-022-00770-5 Epstein–Barr virus (EBV) is a ubiquitous human lymphotropic herpesvirus with a well-established causal role in several cancers. Recent studies have provided compelling epidemiological and mechanistic evidence for a causal role of EBV in...

I would like to share with you my latest review article. The Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) has long been known to be behind the development of autoimmune diseases, cancer and is even suspected to be behind the development of Chronic Fatigue Syndrome/Myalgic Encephalomyelitis and Long COVID. But it is...

Abstract Infections by the Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) are often at the disease onset of patients suffering from Myalgic Encephalomyelitis/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (ME/CFS). However, serological analyses of these infections remain inconclusive when comparing patients with healthy controls (HCs)...

Full title: EBV/HHV-6A dUTPases contribute to Myalgic Encephalomyelitis/Chronic-Fatigue-Syndrome pathophysiology by enhancing TFH cell differentiation and extrafollicular activities Myalgic Encephalomyelitis/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (ME/CFS) is a chronic, debilitating multisystem illness of...

Revisiting IgG antibody reactivity to Epstein-Barr virus in Myalgic Encephalomyelitis/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and its potential application to disease diagnosis Abstract: Infections by the Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) are often at the disease onset of patients suffering from Myalgic...

https://www.theatlantic.com/science/archive/2022/03/epstein-barr-virus-mono-cancer-research/623881/ (Could be paywalled, it worked for me) Over the years, more hints of EBV’s unusual abilities started appearing. The virus or the antibodies to it seemed to be disproportionately found in people...

Highlights Longitudinal multiomics associate PASC with autoantibodies, viremia and comorbidities Reactivation of latent viruses during initial infection may contribute to PASC Subclinical autoantibodies negatively correlate with anti-SARS-CoV-2 antibodies Gastrointestinal PASC uniquely present...

Main paper Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic inflammatory demyelinating disease of the central nervous system of unknown etiology. We tested the hypothesis that MS is caused by Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) in a cohort comprising more than 10 million young adults on active duty in the US...

I thought this was particuarly interesting that he says he was given 'the wrong advice' and told it was ok to train when he was still sick, and which meant he was sick for much longer. There is also a clear distinction between a) the original virus, and b) his depression. He also makes the...

After a long time and a lot of work, our hypothesis on the development of ME/CFS following an Epstein Barr virus infection has finally been published...

In mice. Abstract Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) infection is associated with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) in adults, though the nature of the relationship remains unknown. Herein, we have examined the contribution of viral infection to the severity of arthritis in mice. We have provided the first...

Abstract Infectious mononucleosis (IM), mainly caused by the Epstein-Barr virus, can result in prolonged symptoms. The objective of this study was to look at the length of sick leave, diagnosis of IM, treatment, and comorbidities in a real-world setting in Germany. This retrospective...

An interesting article on a possible association between Long Covid and EBV reactivation, thank you Anil (sorry forgotten your user name here) for alerting me to this on Facebook: Investigation of Long COVID Prevalence and Its Relationship to Epstein-Barr Virus Reactivation Gold et al Pathogens...

Moderna appears to be developing several mRNA vaccines for EBV and other viruses It's an investors' document but it lists several mRNA vaccines in various phases of development for some of the ME-causing viruses: CMV, EBV and some flu strains. CMV appears to be in phase 2 development. EBV could...

ABSTRACT Background We followed college students before, during, and after infectious mononucleosis (IM) for the development of myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS). Aim We used network analysis to study relationships between pre-illness cytokine data amongst three...
