DISORDERS OF NERVOUS SYSTEMIN THE NEW CORONAVIRUS INFECTION COVID-19

Abstract

Disorders of the nervous system are observed in a third of patients with COVID-19. They include secondary infectious toxic encephalopathy, direct viral impairment of peripheral nerves and muscles, post - and parainfectious autoimmune disorders of the nervous system. Separately a problem of stroke in COVID-19, which develops due to hypercoagulation, is addressed. The likelihood of the development of true viral encephalitis in COVID-19 is debatable. More research is needed in this area.
