Interview with Dr Rob Wust 

In early January, Nature Communications published a Dutch study called “Muscle abnormalities worsen after post-exertional malaise in long COVID.” The study caused a buzz among patients, clinicians, and other researchers and generated extensive news coverage. Called. (I wrote a blog post about it here.) The investigators identified significant biological differences after an exercise challenge between long Covid patients with post-exertional malaise and matched healthy controls who had recovered from COVID-19. I spoke about the paper’s findings with Rob Wust, one of the main authors and an expert in muscle metabolism at Vrije [Free] University Amsterdam
