Dr. Komaroff will talk about “The Emerging Parallels Between ME/CFS and Long COVID”. He will describe not only how the symptoms are similar but also how the two conditions share many of the same physiologic abnormalities and the opportunity Long Covid provides to advance our understanding of ME/CFS and to support clinical trials.

Anthony Komaroff, MD, is the distinguished Simcox-Clifford-Higby Professor of Medicine at Harvard Medical School and Senior Physician at Brigham and Women’s Hospital in Boston. He has published over 230 research articles and two books. From 1997-2015 he was editor in chief of the Harvard Health Publications Division of Harvard Medical School, the division responsible for disseminating all of the medical school’s health information for the general public. He has been publishing research papers on myalgic encephalomyelitis (ME) since the late 1980s, and currently serves on the National Institutes of Health’s advisory council for ME/CFS research.

This event is a part of the Association's 2022 Annual Meeting of the Membership.
