Hundreds of millions of COVID cases have been reported so far and long-term lingering clinical symptoms are frequent and are called long COVID. Neurological signs including cognitive complaints are often described in long Covid. In COVID patients, the Sars-Cov-2 virus can reach the brain and could be responsible for cerebral anomalies observed in long COVID. Long-term careful clinical follow-up of these patients is necessary to detect early signs of neurodegeneration.
迄今为止,已报告数亿例新冠病例,长期存在的临床症状屡见不鲜,被称为“长新冠”。“长新冠”患者常出现包括认知障碍在内的神经学症状。在新冠患者中,新冠病毒可侵入大脑,这可能是“长新冠”患者出现脑部异常的原因。对这些患者进行长期细致的临床随访,对于发现神经退行性变的早期迹象至关重要。
