Increased neurologic symptoms in severely infected COVID-19 patients
Mao et.al study finds that 36.4% of the COVID-19 patients surveyed presented neurologic symptoms, such as acute cerebrovascular events, impaired consciousness and skeletal muscle injury. Neurologists conducted a study (Jan. 16 - Feb. 19) (n=214, from 3 designated Wuhan hospitals) by retrospectively reviewing patient charts. Nervous system symptoms were found to be more prevalent in severe patients, affecting them disproportionately to their counterparts with regards to CNS function and muscle injury.
