A groundbreaking study aims to determine if long COVID-19 could lead to another type of dementia

“‘…there is evidence of fragments or an inflammatory kind of a massive inflammatory response that occurs triggered by COVID. And those inflammatory markers we tend to notice in the brain.’

And that could cause something called COVID-19 Cognitive Impairment.

‘And we are going to compare people with COVID cognitive impairment. To be clear on this, I think that COVID can cause cognitive impairment and maybe even dementia…’”

EXTREME and incomplete oversimplification of the many complex neurological issues caused by SarsCov2, but important facet of the vaguely defined “brain fog” of Long Covid and post-acute Covid lingering symptoms.

“Neurological symptoms have been widely observed in COVID-19 patients, with many survivors exhibiting persistent neurological and cognitive impairment. New research from the University of Minnesota found that COVID-19 triggers inflammation in the brain, which is linked to many COVID-related symptoms such as fatigue and ‘brain fog.’”

"This comprehensive analysis of patients with neuro-PASC revealed a disabling but difficult to characterize syndrome that develops even after relatively mild COVID-19. A common feature is memory impairment."

Long COVID and Dementia: The Link Is Still Elusive | ALZFORUM
154,000 veterans who had COVID were 1.4 times likelier to have a neurologic condition--memory problems, stroke, neuropathy, mental health disorders, migraines, or seizures--in year following illness. This was true for all COVID cases, from mild to severe.

Brain damage after even mild Covid in kids: Omicron is much better at invading children's noses, predicts memory issues. "Severity of smell dysfunction after infection may be a better predictor of long-term cognitive impairment than severity of COVID-19"

"Bluntly and rather disconcertingly, Pirzada says if someone is dealing with significant brain fog, there isn’t much that can be done...

'We can refer you to a specialist that will see you in the long term, but they won’t know what to do either,'"
