The Burden of Lyme Disease (BOLD) in a Pandemic - Insights From an Online Cross-sectional and Prospective Cohort Survey
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
A cross-sectional descriptive survey of the BOLD for individuals after having been ill with COVID-19 or have taken the COVID-19 vaccine will be compared with that of individuals who have neither been ill with COVID-19 nor taken the COVID-19 vaccine. Individuals who have both been ill and taken the COVID-19 vaccine will be compared to identify any additive risk factors.

Detailed Description
Primary research question:
- Will the BOLD be worse for individuals who have taken the COVID-19 vaccine?
Secondary research questions:
-
Will the BOLD be worse for individuals who have been ill with COVID-19?
-
What factors affect the BOLD in individuals a) after having been ill with COVID-19, and
- in those who have taken the COVID-19 vaccine? Do they differ?
-
If BOLD risk factors specific to either the COVID-19 vaccine or having been ill with COVID-19 are found, are they additive in people who have experienced both?
-
What is the prevalence of hesitancy in the Lyme disease community to the COVID-19 vaccine?
-
What is the severity of symptoms most likely to predict functional problems in individuals with Lyme disease who have been ill with COVID-19 or taken the COVID-19 vaccine?
