Study: COVID-19 Patients Have Had Strokes, Other Neurological Ailments

Patients with COVID-19 can have neurological deficits, including strokes, according to the world’s first study analyzing the virus’s effect on the nervous system.
The study, published this month in JAMA Neurology, analyzed 214 patients hospitalized with confirmed cases of COVID-19 in Wuhan, China, the original epicenter of the pandemic, between Jan. 16 and Feb. 19. More than a third of those patients (36.4 percent) presented neurological symptoms along with respiratory problems. In severe cases of infection, 45 percent of patients had neurological symptoms.
