“New-onset psychiatric symptoms directly related to SARS-CoV-2 virus infection are not rare phenomena among pediatric patients. CSF tests support the presence of central immune responses in some patients.

Our patients developed psychiatric symptoms within 2 weeks of virus infection. In a small portion of patients (2/10, 20%), positive findings in CSF (cerebro-spinal fluid) suggest intracranial immune response and disruption of the blood–brain barrier (BBB).. EEG showed epileptic wave in one child (1/9, 11%) and slow background rhythm or slow wave activities in five children (5/9, 55%).. [Among six children whose cytokine levels in CSF were measured,] one-third (2/6, 33.3%) had increased IL-8 levels, which indicates IL-8 in the central nervous system may be involved in the mechanisms of SARS-CoV-2 virus-induced psychiatric symptoms. Increased IL-8 levels in CSF have been reported in brain infection and head injury.. We also detected elevated IgG level, albumin quotient, and positive oligoclonal band in the CSF in another two children, which supports the disrupted blood–brain barrier and central autoimmune reaction theory."

“My 7 year old niece, who contracted Covid 4x during the last school year, no longer knows her cousin (my daughter) nor her Granddad.

A few days before her last infection she told my Mom how much she misses Granddad and how he would give her everything!

The week before her last infection she Facetime my daughter and I to recite her Bible verse for the week.

Then she got Covid, started losing things, has problems with word finding, and obvious memory loss.

This happened in May.

My SIL can’t get her in to see a Neurologist until November because all appointments are taken.

Is this the government AND the citizens of this country have decided is ok?”

Studies show kids are also at risk of long-term consequences from infection and especially those <5 for higher rates of hospitalization than most adults. Let's take a look.🧵1/

Children who got COVID-19 had increased risks of cognitive deficit, insomnia, intracranial haemorrhage, ischaemic stroke, nerve root & plexus disorders, psychotic disorders, and epilepsy or seizures (HRs: 1·20 to 2·16)."

The research identifies a wide spectrum of neurological complications in children and suggests they may be more common than in adults admitted with Covid-19."
