Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,

Myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS) is an illness of unknown etiology, characterized by multiple physical symptoms and comorbid conditions. Symptoms often reported by those with ME/CFS include unexplained fatigue that lasts for more than six months, post-exertional malaise, neurocognitive problems, unrefreshing sleep, and gastrointestinal issues. Clinical laboratory findings often include inflammatory sequelae, metabolic disturbances, self-reactive antibodies, and immune cell abnormalities. Although many of those who suffer from ME/CFS report that they developed the condition following a “flu-like” illness from which they never fully recover, an etiological agent has not been reproducibly identified. Likewise, many individuals infected by the SARS-CoV-2 virus often never fully recover and present with symptoms that significantly overlap with those of ME/CFS. This syndrome is typically referred to as long COVID-19 or post-acute sequelae of SARS COV-2 infection. In this Special Issue, which addresses the advances in research of myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome, we aim to publish original research papers and reviews that focus on the involvement of the immune system in ME/CFS. Reports that leverage commonalities between ME/CFS and long COVID-19 to identify the mechanisms behind immune abnormalities are highly encouraged.
