The 2nd Virtual Scientific Conference for the International Association for Chronic Fatigue Syndrome/ Myalgia Encephalomyelitis was held on the 19th – 21st August 2021 (streamed on zoom). The conference promoted unpublished data and included both clinicians and biomedical researchers. 

The talks were grouped into different sections, including the longer 45 minute talks in the Professional Workshops and shorter talks covering topics of infectious diseases, immunology and clinical cases. 

We have chosen a selection of the talks which will hopefully be of interest to you, which are listed below. Here we report on our sixth talk in this series with a talk from Dr Leonard Jason who talked about his study on comparing symptoms in long-COVID to ME/CFS patients, with his presentation titled “COVID-19 Symptoms Over Time: Comparing Long-Haulers to ME/CFS”. The further talks we will cover are shown below and these will be available in one report by the end of October 2021.
