Alba Azola, MD, a leading expert on Long COVID, discusses the challenges of diagnosing and managing Long COVID, particularly its overlap with myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS). She highlights how both conditions share debilitating symptoms like fatigue, brain fog, and post-exertional malaise (PEM), yet may have different underlying causes. Azola emphasizes the importance of individualized care and the need for ongoing research to better understand the pathophysiology of these conditions. She also notes that rehabilitation approaches used for ME/CFS can be effective for Long COVID patients, but further studies are needed to refine treatment protocols.
