Evidence of the COVID-19 Virus Targeting the CNS: Tissue Distribution, Host−Virus Interaction, and Proposed Neurotropic Mechanisms

COVID19: Neurological involvement in COVID-19 We investigate the density of the expression levels of ACE2 in the CNS, the host−virus interaction and relate it to the pathogenesis and complications seen in the recent cases resulting from the COVID-19 outbreak. Also, we debate the need for a model for staging COVID-19 based on neurological tissue involvement.

The Neuroinvasive Potential of SARS‐Cov2 May Be At Least Partially Responsible for the Respiratory Failure of COVID‐19 Patients

Coronaviruses are not always confined to the respiratory tract and that they may also invade the central nervous system inducing neurological diseases. The potential invasion of SARS‐CoV2 is partially responsible for the acute respiratory failure of patients with COVID‐19. Awareness of this will have important guiding significance for the prevention and treatment of the SARS‐CoV‐2‐induced […]

EEG Patterns Compatible with Nonconvulsive Status Epilepticus Are Common in Elderly Patients with Delirium: A Prospective Study with Continuous EEG Monitoring

CONFUSION/DELIRIUM IN ELDERLY: NCSE is more common in elderly patients; EEG should be considered for elderly patients experiencing acute confusional state or delirium, even in the presence of a presumed symptomatic cause
