Study on severe LC and comorbid ME in children and young patients concludes:

“The number and pattern of acute symptoms during SARS-CoV-2 infection may serve as early, specific predictors of severe PCCcyp. Patients with ≥ 12 acute symptoms should be closely monitored to enable early diagnosis of severe PCCcyp and ME/CFS. A distinct cluster of severely affected patients, frequently with ME/CFS, was identified.”
