This can still be a subgroup finding in a subpopulation of pwME. We have case histories of familial cases of ME where multiple members have issues with HHVs, as well as Borrelia and now COV-19.

What Goes Around (Comes Around)

Here's a 71-year old guy who still meets the Ice Spice clause! Finley started recording in 2016 after playing semi-pro locally for decades. Absolutely smokin' blues!

The original ME was deemed most likely to be [Enterovirus betacoxsackie (EV-B), the current name for Coxsackie Bs, Echoviruses, and some others]. The modern variations of ME/CFS include EVs, HHVs, and other infections as well as non-infectious onsets. In both cases, it can involve metabolic effects.

Unfortunately HHVs cannot be permanently eradicated once someone has been infected, but only put into a state of latency: pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC...
Herpesvirus latency
Herpesviruses infect virtually all humans and establish lifelong latency and reactivate to infect other humans. Latency requires multiple functions: maintaining the herpesvirus genome in the nuclei of...

It's also a reminder of the origins of the hybrid condition and origins of the originals. ME was originally thought to be induced by polioviruses, which it would have been but for "PV4" being named Coxsackie virus in 1948. CFS was associated with EBV and other HHVs. MECFS is broader, incl. EV+HHV.

A good review article - #MECFS is it #medicallyunexplained or not looking deep enough. Glial dysfunction, brain perfusion abn, reactivation of EBV/HHVs, brian slump, reduced brainstem mobility etc

New preprint study following >1100 hospitalized patients for a year — they found reactivation of herpesviruses (EBV, CMV, HHVs), enteroviruses, and anneloviruses during the acute phase of Covid infection (and decreasing thereafter), correlating with disease severity.

Utterly depressing that the only place the Dawn Butler racist poem video has gained attraction is on GB News:

And this is dangerous because it opens the door wide for “two tier policing“ rhetoric again.

I know what EBV is 😂. Mostly from research frankly (HHV immune response augmentation using CRISPR).

I’d argue that other HHVs may be even more apt than HHV4 (aka EBV), but that’s neither here nor there and gets more nerdy and less funny.

riiiiight????!! it's just nuts. and we used to think EBV was just "the kissing disease." HHVs are wiley little bastards.
