Different groups have produced sets of diagnostic criteria that share many similarities. The biggest differences between criteria are whether post-exertional malaise (PEM) is required, and the number of symptoms needed.
Post-exertional malaise ( PEM ), sometimes referred to as post-exertional symptom exacerbation ( PESE) [ 1] or post-exertional neuroimmune exhaustion (PENE), [ 2] is a worsening of symptoms that occurs after minimal exertion. It is the hallmark symptom of myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS) and common in long COVID and ...
