By and Medicine National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, Health and Medicine Division, Board on Health Sciences Policy, Board on Global Health, Forum on Neuroscience and Nervous System Disorders, Forum on Microbial Threats, Megan Snair, Julie Liao, Elizabeth Ashby, Claire Biffl

The National Academies Forum on Microbial Threats and Forum on Neuroscience and Nervous System Disorders hosted a hybrid public workshop in June 2023 to explore opportunities to advance research and treatment of infection-associated chronic illnesses. The illnesses discussed in this workshop, including COVID-19, myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS), persistent or posttreatment Lyme disease syndrome (PTLDS), and multiple sclerosis (MS), share overlapping mechanisms and symptoms and have been inadequately researched. Recognizing these commonalities, speakers identified the need to advance research more comprehensively, translating to improved diagnostic and treatment options for patients across multiple conditions.
