“It just came to our attention then. The epidemic has been going on for half a year now, it is rolling, it is falling again. The available material has already revealed a lot: rescuers have learned to treat, mortality is already much lower. Doctors observed all manifestations of the virus, including neurological ones, “said neurologist Dr. Jacob Fish.
The doctor noted that the virus can also enter the central nervous system in two ways.
“The first is when it crosses the barrier that restricts the brain from the blood, from other organs of the body, and causes encephalitis directly, that is, inflammation of the brain.
The other way is that when there is an autoimmune response, the body’s own cells begin to fight. Then they become such unfair fighters, they start fighting the body’s systems (here, too, those cytokine storms) and cause certain neurological complications, like Guillan-Barre syndrome. It is a very serious pathology when said increasing paralysis begins in the feet and rises, then paralyzes the respiratory muscles and the person dies, Fisch said.
Also, according to the doctor, the entire neurological system suffers a lot from the virus.
“It is a serious infection, it imbalances the autonomic nervous system, it can cause cerebral edema, fever, headache. The nervous system suffers a lot, the patient also suffers “, – said J. Fišas.
Residual effects can occur after some time.
According to the doctor, residual phenomena can appear after a time, especially in older people, whose nerves and other systems are less healthy, do not recover as quickly or do not recover at all.
“Then after the onset of such a serious illness, after the supposed recovery, the remaining phenomena remain: muscle weakness, increased fatigue, possibly low fever, impaired vegetative parameters.” No serious illness goes without consequences, and such illness, where there are so many deaths, not even a speech, leads to serious complications, “said J. Fišas.
The doctor assured that the situation is not hopeless: restorative treatment, lifestyle adjustments, various supplements and prescription drugs can help. Only for treatment should you consult a doctor at all times.
More and more information on complications
As previously reported, according to sciencealert.com, COVID-19 is in many cases a respiratory infection with fever, muscle pain, fatigue, sore throat, cough and, in more severe cases, shortness of breath and respiratory distress.
However, it is already known that coronavirus can also affect cells not only in the airways, but also causes a number of gastrointestinal disorders (diarrhea and nausea), damage to cardiac function, and blood clotting disorders. . Neurological symptoms seem to be included in this list.
Larger studies in China and France have revealed the incidence of neurological symptoms. The researchers found that they occurred in 36 percent. cases.
In most cases, such symptoms were mild. For example, people have had a headache or dizziness. And such a reaction was triggered by an active immune response. Other more specific and severe symptoms include loss of taste and smell, muscle weakness, stroke, seizures, and hallucinations. Such symptoms generally occur in severe cases. It is estimated that 46 to 84 percent. Serious cases of neurological symptoms in people infected with coronavirus.
