The COVID-19 pandemic that swept the world at the beginning of 2020 is still raging. It is well established that in addition to respiratory symptoms, COVID-19 can also have neurological manifestations that may result from direct or indirect neurological damage. But are these neurological manifestations coincidental or causal? From a neurological perspective, these symptoms could be the result of neurological damage following SARS-CoV-2 infection, or they could be coincidental, from causes such as secondary systemic complications or side effects of drug treatment. The aim of this review is to raise clinician's awareness to the development of neurological impairment in SARS-CoV-2 infected patients in the current normative prevention and control.
2020年初席卷全球的新冠疫情仍在肆虐。众所周知,除呼吸道症状外,新冠病毒感染还可能导致神经损伤,进而出现神经学表现。但这些神经学表现是巧合还是因果关系呢?从神经学角度来看,这些症状可能是感染新冠病毒后神经损伤的结果,也可能是由继发性全身并发症或药物治疗副作用等原因导致的巧合情况。这篇综述的目的是提高临床医生对当前规范防控下新冠病毒感染患者神经功能障碍发生情况的认识。
