David Putrino

The COVID-19 pandemic has become one of the greatest mass-disabling events in history due to the emergence of Long COVID as an Infection-Associated Complex Chronic illness. In this talk, Dr. David Putrino will detail how seemingly harmless infections can lead to serious chronic health conditions in some that can impact every aspect of daily life. He will discuss the current state of the science surrounding diagnosis, treatment and emerging research concerning Long COVID and will also discuss differences and similarities between Long COVID and other complex chronic illnesses such as Myalgic Encephalomyelitis/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (ME/CFS) and chronic Lyme Disease. Delving deep into these topics will teach the audience the science behind how persistent infections can significantly affect every aspect of health: physical, emotional and cognitive and how you can manage your own risk of developing infection-associated chronic illnesses.
