post-viral fatigue
Exhaustion following illness
Post-viral fatigue is persistent exhaustion following a viral infection, lasting weeks or months after the acute illness has resolved.
The fatigue is disproportionate to exertion and not relieved by rest: Six months after COVID, she was still dealing with post-viral fatigue.
When symptoms persist beyond several months with additional complications, the condition may be diagnosed as chronic fatigue syndrome or long COVID.
