Three-year-old Colt Parris is doing much better after doctors believed he suffered a stroke after contracting COVID-19.
LOS ANGELES - According to a study from the National Institutes of Health, researchers found evidence to suggest that brain damage may be a product of COVID-19.
Researchers uncovered blood vessel damage and inflammation in the brains of 19 deceased COVID-19 patients. We found that the brains of patients who contract infection from SARS-CoV-2 may be susceptible to microvascular blood vessel damage. Our results suggest that this may be caused by the body’s inflammatory response to the virus said Avindra Nath, M.D., clinical director at the NIH’s National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS).
