Doctors have observed new symptoms of Covid in patients. The consequences can be dramatic.
The longer the coronavirus pandemic lasts, the more symptoms are attributed to the Covid-19 disease. If an infection initially seemed to have similar effects to the common flu, the list of symptoms is getting longer and longer. The head, nose, throat, lungs, heart, kidneys, stomach, intestines and even toes – there is hardly an area that is not affected by the virus.
Neurological symptoms
Scientists at Northwestern Memorial Hospital in the US have found that 80 percent of all corona sufferers also have neurological problems. “This is the first study of its kind in the United States,” said study author Dr. Igor Koralnik with pride. “Our research group spent the summer reviewing the medical records of 509 patients hospitalized for COVID-19. Our results show that neurological problems are very common in these patients.”
According to the report, the most common neurological symptoms were:
Muscle pain (44.8%)
Headache (37.7%)
Encephalopathy (31.8%)
Dizziness (29.7%)
Taste alteration (15.9%)
Odor disorder (11.4%)
Dramatic effects
According to the researchers, encephalopathy is the most serious symptom. This is the collective term for pathological states of the brain. This can lead to confusion, memory loss, and even minor personality changes. In the study, the researchers found: “After hospital discharge, only 32.1% of patients with encephalopathy were able to run their own business, compared to 89.3% of those who did not develop encephalopathy. There was also a higher mortality in patients with encephalopathy (21.7%) compared to 3.2% in patients without encephalopathy. “
