Long COVID & Post-Viral Syndromes ECHO: Pediatric and Young Adults

January 4, 2024
Long COVID & Post-Viral Syndromes ECHO
Long COVID and Post-Viral Syndromes: Pediatric and Young Adults
Bateman Horne Center and the University of Utah Health ECHO teams join forces once again to provide a case-based learning series illuminating strategies for assessment and management of Long COVID (PASC), ME/CFS, and related comorbid conditions.
Patient cases are shared in this session for educational purposes. In some cases, the information does not relate to an individual, and instead represents a compilation of disease presentation. In cases involving individual patient information, the patients have authorized the discussion of their case in this setting.
Alba Azola, MD, and Melanie Hoppers, MD, discuss pediatric and young adult cases of long COVID & ME/CFS.
Objectives
• Review recent epidemiological data on Long COVID in the young adult population
• Describe the proposed pathophysiologic mechanism involved in Long COVID
• Special considerations for assessment and management of LC in adolescents and young adults (AYA)
• Case discussions
Note to community members: We advise viewers to always speak with their medical care team prior to making any adjustments or changes to their current care regimen.
Bateman Horne Center’s involvement in this program is made possible with the additional support of the Open Medicine Foundation.

Super to know there are doctors digging deep to help their patients. I sure hope many doctors are being educated to diagnosis these symptoms quickly. Thank you for this video. Mother of severe ME/CFS son.

I may have missed it, but what were the recommended treatments for PEM, muscle pain, and brain fog, which are my three most debilitating symptoms?
