Post Viral Fatigue Syndrome (PVFS) is a condition that can occur following a viral infection, where individuals experience prolonged fatigue and a range of other symptoms that can significantly impact their daily lives. This syndrome is often characterized by extreme tiredness that doesn't improve with rest, alongside cognitive difficulties, muscle pain, and sleep disturbances.
The onset of PVFS typically follows infections such as influenza or COVID-19, but it can also arise after other viral illnesses, such as Epstein-Barr Virus (EBV). The resultant immune system dysregulation causes the symptoms that are typically characterized as Myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS) or Fibromyalgia.
