HHV-6 infection in ME/CFS https://buff.ly/3Qcd8Rl

Abundant HHV-6 miRNA found in brain frontal lobe, basal ganglia, and in spinal cord of MECFS pts.

#EBV co-infection noted too.

n =3 ME/CFS pts, n = 24 controls

⭐️Reactivated HHV-6 within spinal nerves, possibly explains ANS dysfunction associated with ME/CFS.

#LongCOVID #MECFS:
Saliva antibody-fingerprint of reactivated latent viruses after mild/asx COVID is unique in patients w/MECFS https://buff.ly/3I10umf

Mild SARS-CoV-2 can trigger reactivation of #EBV, #HHV6, and #HERV-K, seen by antibody fingerprints locally in #saliva but not detected in blood samples.
