If you have any of these new symptoms of COVID-19, call your doctor
New research reveals how coronaviruses threatens the nervous system.
There are many reasons why Covid-19 is one of the most frightening viruses that infectious doctors of infectious diseases - like Dr. Anthony Fauci-met throughout their career. One of them is how it has the ability to quickly ravage the body as well as mind, many ways that researchers have been scrambled to understand since the first cases of December 2019. During the six Last months, global infections climbed for more than $ 7.2 million, we got a clearer image of how the highly complex and mortal virus attacks its host, resulting in bizarre symptoms from the inflammation. cerebral. This week, a new study of northwest medicine and publishesAnnals of neurologyclaims to have a better understanding of how coronaviruses threatens the whole nervous system, resulting in neurological manifestations of the virus.
Do you have these symptoms?
Researchers say that symptoms such asHeadache, Dizziness, Decrease in Vigilance, Difficulty Focusing, Smell Disorders and Taste, Crises, Features, Weakness and Muscle PainThe damage to the nervous system are all the result of well before any respiratory symptom.
"It is important for the general public and doctors to be aware of this because a SARS-COV-2 infection may have neurological symptoms initially, before any fever, cough or respiratory problems occur", the main author of the exam , Dr. Igor Koralnik, Head of Northwest Medicine Head of Neuro-Infectious Diseases and Global Neurology and Professor of Neurology at the University of Northwestern Feinberg School of Medicine, said in aPress releaseaccompanying the study.
It can ravage all the nervous system
According to Dr. Koranik and his colleagues, the virus has the ability to ravage the entire nervous system, including the brain, spinal cord and nerves as well as muscles. And, there are a variety of ways to do it.
The first is due to the fact that the disease attacks several organs, including lungs, kidneys and heart; The brain can also be deprived of oxygen or suffering from bleeding disorders, leading to ischemic or hemorrhagic features. In addition, the virus can directly infect the brain. Finally, the damaged inflammation of the brain and nerve is possibly due to the reaction of the immune system to the infection.
Dr Koralnik and his colleagues continue to seek the neurological implications of COVID-19 in the hope of helping patient diagnosis and treatment.
