Background: Infectious mononucleosis after primary infection with Epstein-Barr virus (EBV-IM) has been linked to the development of myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue-syndrome (ME/CFS) in children, adolescents, and young adults. Here, we present clinical phenotypes and follow-up data from a first German cohort of young people with ME/CFS following EBV-IM.
Methods: 12 adolescents and 13 young adults were diagnosed with IM-triggered ME/CFS at our specialized tertiary outpatient service by clinical criteria requiring post-exertional malaise (PEM) and a history of confirmed EBV primary infection as triggering event.
A subset of patients with post-COVID-19 condition (PCC) fulfill the clinical criteria of myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS). To establish the diagnosis of ME/CFS for clinical and research purposes, comprehensive scores have to be evaluated. We developed the Munich Berlin Symptom Questionnaires (MBSQs) and supplementary scoring sheets (SSSs) to allow for a rapid evaluation of common ME/CFS case definitions.

Methods: The programme, named NeoPAss, was developed at the Department of Neonatology Children's hospital Passau in 2013. Short-term outcomes of infants were compared to matched controls from the Bavarian neonatology surveillance database before (n = 111; 2008-2012) and after implementation (n = 170; 2014-2017).

Objective: The Liebowitz Social Anxiety Scale (LSAS) and the Social Phobia Inventory (SPIN) are established measures in the investigation of social anxiety. Furthermore, the subscale Interpersonal Sensitivity of the Brief Symptom Inventory (BSI-53) is frequently used to screen social anxiety. All three scales claim to capture the same construct, which raises the question of the convergence of these scales.

- The study investigates early change in interpersonal problems within psychotherapy, focusing on how nonverbal synchrony influences these changes and treatment outcomes.
- It utilizes growth mixture modeling with 212 patients to identify three distinct patterns of early change: slow improvement, fast improvement, and early deterioration.
- Findings reveal that lower levels of early nonverbal synchrony are linked to faster improvement in interpersonal issues, which also predict overall treatment success, while discussing methodological limitations and potential clinical applications.
