Scientists warn of potential brain damage linked to COVID-19
LONDON =- Scientists warned on Wednesday of potential brain damage linked to the novel coronavirus, including severe neurological complications such as delirium, brain inflammation, stroke and nerve damage.A study led by researchers at University College London described more than 40 patients with COVID-19 who experienced a multitude of different brain effects.Some people in the study did not have severe respiratory symptoms, and the neurological problem was the COVID-19 patient’s first and primary symptom.The study, published in the journal Brain, also identified a sometimes deadly inflammatory condition known as acute disseminated encephalomyelitis (ADEM), which appears to be increasing in prevalence due to the pandemic.Typically seen in children, ADEM is rare and can be triggered by viral infections, experts say.“We identified a higher than expected number of people with neurological conditions such as brain inflammation, which did not always correlate with the severity of respiratory symptoms,” said Dr.
