Neuro-COVID is a serious complication of SARS-CoV-2 infections and can determine the long-term outcome of COVID-19

Abstract

[EXTRACTO]. We read with interest the review article by Matar-Khalil about neuro-COVID. The author concluded that the exact mechanisms of brain damage from SARS-CoV-2 have not yet been elucidated, and that it is necessary to continue with longitudinal and international research, including studies that include epidemiological, clinical and diagnostic variables to define them and establish their implication in mental health, as well as its long-term consequences. The study is appealing but raises concerns that should be discussed. A response to this letter is available at: https://doi.org/10.26633/RPSP. 2022.192
