Background/Objectives: According to the World Health Organization (WHO) and Centers for Disease Control Prevention (CDC), an estimated 3–6% of people suffer from post-COVID condition or syndrome (PCS). A subset meets diagnostic criteria myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue (ME/CFS). Studies have reported that SARS-CoV-2 proteins RNA can persist after acute infection in serum tissues, but their role PCS is unclear. Methods: Here, spike protein was analyzed 121 patients with predominant exertional intolerance, whom 72 met ME/CFS, 37 recovered healthy controls, 32 pre-pandemic controls. Results: Spike detected 11% 2% patients, 14% ME/CFS between 4 31 months infection, not samples. The occurrence concentration did correlate vaccination timepoints. In presence associated severity symptoms functional disability. 5 out 22 who under-went immunoglobulin depletion, levels were reduced undetectable treatment, indicating binding immunoglobulins. Conclusions: summary, this study identified a found no association ME/CFS.
