Often called post-acute COVID-19 syndrome, some patients experience ongoing symptoms preventing them from feeling normal even after recovering from the initial illness. The CDC reports up to 35 percent of those infected endure symptoms lasting beyond three weeks.
These COVID "long-haulers" fear they may never get better. Their symptoms include shortness of breath, cough, fatigue, body aches, joint pain, difficulty sleeping, headaches, brain fog, gastrointestinal issues, and dizziness.
But what if these patients are not dealing with COVID-19, but rather a tick-borne illness? In fact, their condition sounds similar to chronic Lyme disease, a condition that affects thousands of people a year.
In this webinar, you will learn:
- Overview of tick-borne diseases and COVID-19
- Challenges of diagnosing COVID-19 and TBDs clinically
- Testing for COVID-19 and TBDs (PCR and Antibody)
- Post-acute COVID-19 syndrome and chronic Lyme
- Re-activation of tick-borne diseases
- Measuring COVID-19 vaccine response
Dr. Jyotsna Shah from IGeneX will join during the Q&A.
