Antivirals as ME/CFS or Long Covid treatments (e.g. valacyclovir, valgancyclovir, amantadine)

A couple of days ago I had a look at Iwasaki's paper on the features of Long Covid by an immune profiling because it is that paper that they found their rationale to go after the role of pathogens in LC and ME/CFS, especially herpes viruses.


It seems it doesn't have its own page yet on s4ME.

She found reactivated EBV and – fanfare – VZV or HHV-3.

They say they found proof of the reactivation of these two viruses neither via anti-bodies, nor through PCR but by some molecule you find in reactivation but that's probably expensive and technology intensive to pin down. I don't understand these details, unfortunately.

I of course thought that this was very interesting because aciclovir has very good activity against VZV.
