Inflammatory leptomeningeal cytokines mediate delayed COVID-19 encephalopathy
2020-09-18
Abstract excerpt
SARS-CoV-2 infection induces a wide spectrum of neurologic dysfunction. Here we show that a particularly vulnerable population with neurologic manifestations of COVID-19 harbor an influx of inflammatory cytokines within the cerebrospinal fluid in the absence of viral neuro-invasion.
