JUST IN: Coronavirus now linked to possible Brain Damage
British researchers are now warning that Coronavirus could cause a wave of brain damage in infected patients.
In a new study released on Wednesday, experts at the University College London (UCL) confirmed that Covid-19 could lead to deadly neurological complications including stroke, nerve damage, and potentially fatal brain inflammation even in patients who didn’t show severe respiratory symptoms associated with the virus, though follow-up studies are required to understand the potential long-term neurological consequences of the pandemic, according to the experts.
“Given that the disease has only been around for a matter of months, we might not yet know what long-term damage Covid-19 can cause,” said joint first author Dr. Ross Paterson in the press release. “Doctors need to be aware of possible neurological effects, as early diagnosis can improve patient outcomes.”
