Is There a Herpesviruses-Related Antibody Signature In Patients With ME/CFS?

Many patients with ME/CFS experience common herpesviruses infections at their disease onset. Alternatively, others experience reactivation of the same infections during the disease course. These facts suggest the existence of a disease-specific antibody signature related to these viruses. However, current evidence is conflicting about this signature due to the heterogeneous nature of the disease, the use of distinct lab assays, and small sample sizes, among other reasons. In this webinar, Ramsay Grant researcher Nuno Sepúlveda, PhD, presented new findings on this signature, which could form the basis for developing a future diagnostic tool for ME/CFS patients with an infectious trigger.
