The researchers identified 10 cases of transient encephalopathies, or temporary brain dysfunction with delirium. There were also 12 cases of brain inflammation, 8 cases of strokes, and 8 others with nerve damage.
The researchers found evidence that the brain inflammation was likely caused by an immune response to the disease. The researchers say this suggests that some neurological complications of COVID-19 might come from the immune response rather than the virus itself.
Researchers say this new study confirms previously reported findings of a higher than expected number of stroke patients conditions that were triggered by the “excessive stickiness” of the blood in COVID-19 patients.
