Abstract
Prolonged symptoms after infection with the novel coronavirus 2019 (SARS-COV-2) are an emerging challenge to individual patients, society, and clinicians. In a previous post on the JOSPT Blog, we identified several lessons from research and clinical practice in myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS) that are important lessons for long COVID. The purpose of this post is to discuss the phenomenon of postexertional symptom exacerbation (PESE) and its clinical identification to recognize the potential onset of long COVID.
