==<span id="post-SARS">Post-SARS syndrome</span>== The name '''post-SARS syndrome''' or '''Chronic post-SARS''' was proposed by Moldofsky et al. (2011) to describe those survivors of the 2003 SARS outbreak who remained too ill to work 8 years later.<ref name="Moldofsky2011"/> Moldofsky's described post-SARS syndrome as similar to [[fibromyalgia]] and [[chronic fatigue syndrome]], better known as ME/CFS.<ref name="Moldofsky2011" /> Post-SARS syndrome was described as chronic (lasting over 6 months), with [[chronic fatigue|persistent fatigue]], widespread [[myalgia|muscle pain]], weakness, [[depression]], and [[unrefreshing sleep]] with [[sleep apnea|sleep apneas/hypopneas]], sleep EEG abnormalities, post-sleep fatigue and post sleep sleepiness. An earlier study found that 27% of hospitalized SARS survivors in [[Hong Kong]] met the criteria for ME/CFS six years later, with the illness appearing immediately after patients contacted SARS.<ref name="Lam2009" /> {{See also|1=Postviral fatigue syndrome|2=Postviral fatigue syndrome|3=Long COVID|4=Long COVID|5=Fibromyalgia|6=Fibromyalgia}}
