TNews, SEHAT – Pandemic corona virus which has claimed millions of lives is now increasingly widespread throughout the world. Although at the beginning this disease only affected the respiratory tract, but now it can spread to all parts of the human body from head to toe.
The initial symptoms when someone is infected with the Corona virus that usually experiences are fever, fatigue, and cough. However, it is not uncommon for patients to show unusual symptoms, such as headaches and loss of smell before testing positive for COVID-19.
These signs indicate that the Corona virus was first detected, understood, and attacked the entire nervous system in some patients.
According to a new study published in the Annals of Neurology, many patients show neurological symptoms of COVID-19 such as headache, dizziness, stroke, and decreased alertness. These four neurological symptoms usually appear first, before common signs of COVID-19 such as dry cough and fever appear.
In addition, the study also noted the presence of other neurological signs including symptoms of COVID-19, such as loss of taste and smell, seizures, and difficulty concentrating.
To prove this, researchers analyzed 19 COVID-19 patients in Northwestern Medicine to understand the neurological symptoms of the disease. According to the researchers, this is very important for the general public to realize.
“The general public and physicians must be aware of this (symptoms), because SARS-CoV-2 infection can occur with neurological symptoms initially before fever, cough or respiratory problems appear,” explained the study’s lead author and professor of neurology at the Northwestern University School of Medicine. , Feinberg, Igor Koralnik.
