Many patients with COVID-19 will experience acute or longer-term neuropsychiatric complications. The neurobiological mechanisms behind these are beginning to emerge; however, the neurotropic hypothesis is not strongly supported by clinical data. The inflammatory response to SARS-CoV-2 is likely to be responsible for delirium and other common acute neuropsychiatric manifestations. Vascular abnormalities such as endotheliopathies contribute to stroke and cerebral microbleeds, with their attendant neuropsychiatric sequelae. Longer-term neuropsychiatric syndromes fall into 2 broad categories: neuropsychiatric deficits occurring after severe (hospitalized) COVID-19 and "long COVID," which occurs in many patients with a milder acute COVID-19 illness.
许多 COVID-19 患者会出现急性或长期的神经精神并发症。这些并发症背后的神经生物学机制正在开始显现;然而,神经嗜性假说并没有得到临床数据的有力支持。对 SARS-CoV-2 的炎症反应可能是导致谵妄和其他常见急性神经精神表现的原因。血管异常,如内皮病变,导致中风和脑微出血,以及随之而来的神经精神后遗症。长期神经精神综合征分为 2 大类:发生在严重(住院)COVID-19 后的神经精神缺陷和“长 COVID”,许多患有轻度急性 COVID-19 疾病的患者都会出现这种情况。
