The Neuroimmunologic Impacts of Long Covid (SARS-CoV-2) and its Relation to Myalgic Encephalomyelitis and Chronic Fatigue Syndrome.
By: Juliette Carson, High School for Mathematics, Science and Engineering
This paper seeks to identify and understand the neuroimmunological impacts of Long COVID and Myalgic Encephalomyelitis and Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (ME/CFS) on neurologic degeneration, effect on proper functioning of the immune system and the conditions’ effects on the body on a molecular level. By doing extensive research, I found that Long COVID and ME/CFS have more overlap than just mutually affecting each other, but the very nature of the conditions are very similar and have similar effects on the body.
