Depending on the definition of ME/CFS used, PEM is present in 60 to 100% of ME/CFS patients. [6]

To estimate how frequently people experience fatigue after having had COVID-19, researchers analyzed electronic health records of 4,589 patients who had COVID-19 during 2020–2021, according to a ...
Post-exertional malaise (PEM) and exercise intolerance are common symptoms of post-acute infection syndromes. [5] Post-exertional malaise is a worsening of symptoms after minimal physical or mental activity, [ 6 ] and is a cardinal symptom of myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS). [ 7 ]
post-exertional malaise lasting more than 24 hours. Final requirement. All other known causes of chronic fatigue must have been ruled out, specifically clinical depression, side effects of medication, eating disorders and substance abuse. The clinical evaluation should include: [citation needed]
