入选标准

  • Any gender
  • Baseline EQ-VAS ≤70; EQ-VAS before the index infection ≥80 (this information is collected as part of the baseline survey).
  • Diagnosed with only one of the following conditions:
  • Long Covid
  • Documented clinical history of confirmed or suspected acute COVID-19 infection a minimum of 3 months prior to contact with the study team
  • Formal diagnosis of Long Covid from a physician
  • Post-treatment Lyme disease syndrome
  • Diagnosis will be based on participants meeting either Group 1 or Group 2 criteria of the Columbia Clinical Trial Network PTLDS diagnostic criteria:
  • Well-defined Lyme disease meeting CDC Surveillance Definition Erythema Migrans History of possible exposure to a high incidence county or state (or an adjacent area) Erythema migrans rash
  • EM 1: EM rash diagnosed by HCP previously (either in person or telemedicine)
  • EM 1A: MOA self-report & medical record documentation of rash > 5 cm
  • EM 1B: MOA: self-report and medical record documentation of EM rash but not size
  • EM 1C: MOA: self-report & rash misdiagnosed in medical record as cellulitis/spider bite
  • EM 1D: MOA: self-report and either: photo of EM or Class 1 lab test confirmation within 4 weeks of illness onset OR
  • Disseminated "objective" manifestation with lab test confirmation of Bb infection
  • Clinical history includes at least one of the following symptoms/signs, which are not better accounted for by another cause (MOA: medical records and/or self-report).
  • Neurologic: Lymphocytic Meningitis ; Encephalitis; Encephalomyelitis Cranial Neuritis (especially facial palsy); Radiculoneuropathy; Other Neurologic Signs (with objective measures) : Encephalopathy, Polyneuropathy
  • Carditis: 2nd or 3rd degree AV block; Myocarditis; Pericarditis
  • Lyme arthritis: Recurrent joint swelling in one or more joints
  • Dermatologic: Disseminated EM ("satellite") or Acrodermatitis atrophicans AND
  • Lab test Confirmation (requires at least one of the Class 1 lab tests) (MOA: self-report & documentation)
  • 2A. Chronic Multisystem Symptoms attributed to Lyme disease (insufficient to meet Group 1) and not better explained by another diagnosis and patient has evidence of positive lab results on a Class 1 lab test (or 4 of 10 bands for IgG Western blot (WB)) (MOA: self-report with lab documentation Class 1 lab test confirmation (excluding IgM WB) Highly suggestive IgG WB (4 of 10 bands) OR
  • 2B. EM rash by history after exposure to a Lyme-endemic area but not previously diagnosed by a HCP and no photo or Class 1 lab test confirmation is available (MOA: self-report) OR
  • 2C. Viral like illness (not better explained by other cause) with indeterminate or + enzyme immunoassay (EIA) with positive IgM WB or positive Class 1 lab test (within 4 weeks of illness onset after known exposure to a Lyme high-incidence area for standard two-tiered (STT) IgM) (MOA: medical records, lab test and self-report) (MOA: lab test and self-report) OR
  • 2D. Viral like illness (not better explained by other cause) with indeterminate or positive EIA with positive IgM WB or positive Class 1 lab test (within 6 months of illness onset after known exposure to a Lyme high-incidence area for standard two-tiered (STT) IgM)
  • (MOA: medical records, lab test and self-report)
  • (MOA: lab test and self-report)
  • Formal diagnosis of ME/CFS prior to 2020 from a physician
  • Actively symptomatic such that the 2011 International Criteria for ME/CFS is met at time of screening

排除标准

  • Current use of antiplatelet or anticoagulation regimen
  • Diagnosis of an autoimmune condition such as Chronic EBV, Multiple Sclerosis, Hashimoto's Disease, etc. which would impact the immunological profiling analysis.
  • Pregnancy or lactation
  • Known allergy to earthworms (Lumbrokinase is a supplement that is derived from earthworms)
  • Past medical history of a bleeding or clotting disorder
  • Has a scheduled surgery during, or immediately after, the study period
