Ooof interesting! This team found Ljungan #virus (LV) antigens in autopsied #brain tissue from the hippocampus region of 18 #Alzheimer’s brains. No LV antigen was identified in any of their 11 age-matched control brains: ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/P…
2/ The LV virus antibodies reacted with #neurons and #astrocytes and also showed distinct positive reaction in the #amyloid/neuritic plaques. The team thinks the findings indicate LV #virus may persist in the Alzheimer’s brain
3/ Here’s an image from one of the #Alzheimer’s brains. The red stain visualizes presence of LV viral antigen in neurons, astrocytes + #glial cells. In Panel C, an amyloid/neuritic plaque is shown staining positive in the glial compartment + in dystrophic neurites 
Thank you @PlzSolveCFS for including me this video that helps people better understand the devastating and debilitating disease #ME/CFS: m.youtube.com/watch?v=LPUxt3…
2/ A growing body of evidence indicates thst #ME/CFS involves neuroinflammation, possibly connected to the activity of #viral pathogens capable of persisting in the central nervous system (CNS): frontiersin.org/articles/10.33…
3/ There have been dozens of #ME/CFS #outbreaks over the years, many connected to #enteroviruses, coxsackie #viruses and even respiratory viruses (w/ enterovirus found in the brain of patients via autopsy in some cases)
