Emerging evidence of pathogen reactivation following #SARSCoV2; with flare ups of EBV and Herpes seen in #COVID & #LongCOVID. Could we translate learning from other knowledge areas? Eg: the presentation of Immune Reconstitution Inflammatory Syndrome (IRIS)? 🧵
IRIS is observed when peoples immune systems recover after immunocompromisation. Classically when people have IRIS there’s risks of re-ermergent dormant pathogens or conditions.
There are broadly two classifications of IRIS:
1) "unmasking" IRIS refers to the flare-up of an underlying, previously undiagnosed infection soon after treatments used to improve the immune system are started

Today I got home after a weeks holiday exploring Suffolk & Norfolk with the boyf. We had an amazing time & loved the coast. I was also #LongCOVID symptom free despite being very busy & active. Here’s a beach pic 🧵 on a particular thought about the terms “tired” & “fatigue”.
I’ll start by saying how bloody happy and grateful I am that I had a holiday (staycation), I was able to do everything we wanted, and #LongCOVID symptoms didn’t feature at all (also there’s no cure I have, other than time & pacing).
So, “tiredness”, “fatigue” and “post-exertional symptom exacerbation (PESE)”. Firstly, they are not the same thing. For me, they are all distinct. Secondly, on this holiday, for the first time in 18 months I felt tired only. So what’s *MY* understanding of the differences?
