SARS-CoV-2 and the nervous system: current perspectives
“In this review, we highlight the literature focusing on clinical observations that suggest associations between SARS-CoV-2 infection and the nervous system. We also discuss the different mechanisms of neural injury that lead to various complications. Knowledge about the possible neurological manifestations of COVID-19 is vital for physicians to recognize, treat, and manage complications of the nervous system.”

Vagus nerve inflammation contributes to dysautonomia in COVID-19
Vagus nerve inflammation contributes to dysautonomia in COVID-19

SARS-CoV-2 can induce vagus nerve inflammation followed by autonomic dysfunction.

SARS-CoV-2 RNA and inflammatory cell infiltration were found in the vagus nerves of COVID-19 patients, suggesting a link to autonomic dysfunction.
