2nd day of Research Presentations at the IACFS/ME Conference iacfsme.org/2022-conferenc…: Dr. Lily Chu, Vice-President of #iacfsme welcomed attendees and presenters. #CovidIsNotOver #mecfs #LongCovid @itsbodypolitic #COVID19
Dr. Daiki Takewaki presented from Tokyo on how:“Dysbiosis in the gut microbiome accompanies skewed immunological and clinical parameters in patients with ME/CFS”. #CovidIsNotOver #mecfs #LongCovid #iacfsme #COVID19 @itsbodypolitic
The Japanese study confirms significant dysbiosis in ME patients, versus controls. #CovidIsNotOver #mecfs #LongCovid #iacfsme #COVID19 @itsbodypolitic
Dr. Yakewaki also found that “229 genes were enriched & 442 genes were depleted in #MECFS” and that “KEGG genes associated with amino acids metabolism were markedly depleted in ME/CFS.”#CovidIsNotOver #mecfs #LongCovid #iacfsme #COVID19
Also, “some microbial components, represented by Eggerthella lenta (a potential inducer of Th17 cells) were significantly associated with various immunological and clinical parameters in patients with #MECFS.”
Dr. Kenny L. De Meirleir presented from Nevada, on “Phage borrelia qPCR in ME/CFS patients”. #phages #CovidIsNotOver #mecfs #LongCovid #iacfsme #COVID19 @itsbodypolitic
Dr. De Meirleir spoke on the inflammation and immune deregulation associated with #MECFS, and how chronic Borreliosis overlaps clinically with ME.
Dr. De Meirleir demonstrated how Borrelia miyamotoi may be a prime candidate to be the major chronic infection that underlies #MECFS . Further research is urgently needed. #phages #CovidIsNotOver #mecfs #LongCovid #iacfsme #COVID19 @itsbodypolitic @NIH
