Why do some viruses take months to recover from, and does that tell us anything about ME/CFS?

    For most people, a cold lasts a few days but glandular fever can last many months. What drives the difference? Is it viral persistence, or something else? And does that tell us anything about postviral ME/CFS?

    If viruses are simply a trigger for the ME state (for some people), then it probably doesn't tell anything about ME itself, especially if it can also be triggered by non-viral events.
