Myalgic Encephalomyelitis/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome After SARS-CoV-2 Infection.

Unger, Elizabeth R, Lin, Jin-Mann S, Wisk, Lauren E et al.·JAMA network open·2024

This study followed over 4,300 people for up to 12 months to see whether COVID-19 infection caused ME/CFS-like symptoms. Researchers found that about 3-4% of people reported ME/CFS-like symptoms after their acute illness, but this rate was similar whether they had tested positive or negative for COVID-19. The results suggest that while some people do develop long-lasting symptoms after illness, COVID-19 may not be uniquely causing ME/CFS more often than other infections.

Validity and diagnostic overlap of functional somatic syndrome diagnoses.

van der Meulen, Monica L, Bos, Martje, Bakker, Stephan J L et al.·Journal of psychosomatic research·2024

This study looked at how often three common conditions—ME/CFS, fibromyalgia, and irritable bowel syndrome—occur together in the general population. Researchers surveyed nearly 90,000 people and found that these conditions overlap far more often than would happen by pure chance, especially when they last longer and cause more serious symptoms. This suggests these conditions may share common underlying features.
