Since heart rate parameters often reflect changes in autonomic function, one meta-analysis analysed 64 studies to assess differences in heart rate parameters in ME/CFS (329)
However, the viral infections also are related with diseases in the CNS characterized by the presence of leukocyte infiltration and inflammation, inducing a progressive damage [1], such as the progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy with the John Cunningham virus (JC), AIDS-related dementia complex observed in HIV-1-infected patients, neurodevelopmental sequelae (mental retardation, cerebral palsy, and sensorineural hearing loss) caused by congenital cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection or cerebral mass lesions in immunocompromised adults CMV-infected, and HTLV-1-associated myelopathy/tropical spastic paraparesis (HAM/TSP) that affects the human T-cell lymphotropic virus type 1 (HTLV-1)-infected individuals
