COVID-19 Can Cause Brain Damage Without Infiltrating Tissue
Excerpt from the Article:
COVID-19 is known to cause neurological complications in patients who test positive for the virus, but new research from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) has revealed that SARS-CoV-2 does not always find its way into the brains of infected patients.
Based on findings from high-powered MRI scans, researches from the NIH determined that these neurological responses are a result of the body’s inflammatory response to the virus rather than the virus actually making its way into the brain. They published their findings recently in the New England Journal of Medicine.
Instead of detecting evidence of SARS-CoV-2 in the brains of 19 patients who died shortly after contracting the virus, the investigators repeatedly identified damage from thinning and leaky brain blood vessels. These findings indicate the neurological damage was not caused by a direct viral attack on the brain.
