Emerging evidence indicates that severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), the etiologic agent of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), can cause neurological complications. We provide a brief overview of these recent observations and discuss some of their possible implications. In particular, given the global dimension of the current pandemic, we highlight the need to consider the possible long-term impact of COVID-19, potentially including neurological and neurodegenerative disorders.
新出现的证据表明,严重急性呼吸综合征冠状病毒 2(SARS-CoV-2)是 2019 年冠状病毒病(COVID-19)的病原体,可引起神经系统并发症。我们简要概述了这些最新观察结果,并讨论了它们的一些可能影响。特别是,鉴于当前大流行的全球范围,我们强调需要考虑 COVID-19 可能产生的长期影响,包括潜在的神经和神经退行性疾病。
