The current coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic caused by the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) is one of the greatest medical crises faced by our current generation of health care providers. Although much remains to be learned about the pathophysiology of SARS-CoV-2, there is both historical precedent from other coronaviruses and a growing number of case reports and series that point to neurologic consequences of COVID-19.
Olfactory/taste disturbances and increased risk of strokes and encephalopathies have emerged as potential consequences of COVID-19 infection. Evidence regarding whether these sequelae result indirectly from systemic infection or directly from neuroinvasion by SARS-CoV-2 is emerging.
This review summarizes the current understanding of SARS-CoV-2 placed in context with our knowledge of other human coronaviruses. Evidence and data regarding neurologic sequelae of COVID-19 and the neuroinvasive potential of human coronaviruses are provided along with a summary of patient registries of interest to the Neurology community.
由严重急性呼吸综合征冠状病毒2(SARS-CoV-2)引起的2019冠状病毒病(COVID-19)大流行是我们这一代医疗保健提供者面临的最重大医疗危机之一。尽管关于SARS-CoV-2的病理生理学仍有许多有待了解之处,但其他冠状病毒有历史先例,且越来越多的病例报告和系列研究指出了COVID-19的神经学后果。
嗅觉/味觉障碍以及中风和脑病风险增加已成为COVID-19感染的潜在后果。关于这些后遗症是由全身感染间接导致还是由SARS-CoV-2神经侵袭直接导致的证据正在出现。
本综述结合我们对其他人类冠状病毒的了解,总结了目前对SARS-CoV-2的认识。提供了关于COVID-19神经后遗症以及人类冠状病毒神经侵袭潜力的证据和数据,同时总结了神经学界感兴趣的患者登记情况。
