🔹 PAIS is attracting interest after the emergence of relevant Post acute syndrome after COVID-19 infection (PASC). A number of open questions have drawn the attention of our scientists.
🔹 Within EuCARE, UFMG is leading this effort with the realisation of a review study comparing PASC with PAIS caused by other respiratory viruses, which is presently under review.
🔹 UFMG has also developed, in collaboration with UCL, a study protocol to evaluate the incidence of PAIS which has been presented to the Cohort Coordination Board, involving representatives from the other European cohort projects, the EU, the WHO. UFMG has started patients’ enrolment
The EuCARE delegation was warmly welcomed by the director of the Faculty of Medicine, Dr Alamanda Kfoury and visited the infectious diseases unit facilities in the luxurious environment of the Brazilian city.

Great to see EUCARE and UFMG connecting in person—cross-Atlantic days like this tend to unlock the best ideas. If you share slides or a short recap of key takeaways from the PAIS meeting, I’d love to read it.
