    A case of post-COVID-19 myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome characterized by post-exertional malaise and low serum acylcarnitine level
    2022 Jinushi et al

    Abstract
    COVID-19 afflicts patients with acute symptoms and longer-term sequelae. One of the sequelae is myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS), which is often difficult to diagnose, having no established tests. In this article, we synthesize information from literature reviews on patients with ME/CSF that developed after recovery from COVID-19.

    This is a preprint by a group of gastroenterology and internal medicine doctors in Japan.
    I've only skimmed it, but I'd say they have only skimmed ME research.
    A few clangers:

    I'm afraid much of the research in this area from Japan and China is not worth the paper it's written on. It's strange because in some areas — such as solid-state physics — they excel.

    I must get my hands on the latest issue of Carnitine Today...

    Yes, I realised that! This is more common than it should be. I've seen it dozens of times.
