Research Digest 26/11/21

Welcome to the 79th edition of the Research Digest. This month’s edition of the research digest presents an article distinguishing ME/CFS patients based upon herpesviruses serology and also a comprehensive examination of severely ill ME/CFS patients. The 79th edition also highlights a review paper discussing redox imbalance and how this contributes to biological abnormalities that have long been known for ME/CFS, but now are also being observed in patients with acute and Long COVID.
From scientific papers to a national newspaper

Emerge Australia is pleased to have launched the latest element of our awareness campaign with a full-page advert in the Australian Financial Review to give ME/CFS a voice in the national Long COVID conversation.
Could Long COVID be the best thing that ever happened to ME/CFS?

It's called Long COVID, often Long-haul COVID and sometimes Post Acute Sequelae of COVID-19 (PASC). Last week the World Health Organisation announced a definition for what it calls "post COVID-19 condition", affecting people at least two months after a COVID-19 infection with symptoms that “cannot be explained by an alternative diagnosis”.
Article highlights how well-funded Long COVID research offers opportunities to better understand ME/CFS

In early 2020, Alison Sbrana watched the coronavirus skip from China across continents with a sense of impending doom.
