Abstract:
COVID-19 is the latest and most severe epidemic caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). Besides the respiratory system, the effects of SARS-CoV-2 on central and peripheral nervous systems have been recognized by more and more people. Clinically, patients with COVID-19 have been reported from mild anosmia and hypoesthesia to acute necrotizing hemorrhagic encephalopathy and Guillain-Barre syndrome. In order to facilitate clinicians to recognize the nerve injury of COVID-19 patients and give timely treatment to these patients, this paper reviews the latest research progress on the possible pathways of nerve injury, clinical manifestations and pathogenesis of COVID-19 patients.
