103 COVID-19 patients were screened for 13 subjective neurological symptoms and 91% of them were found to be suffering from atleast one of them. The possibly intrinsic neurotropic properties of SARS-CoV2 may justify the very high frequency of sNS. Further studies targeted at investigating the consequences of SARS-CoV2 infection on the CNS should be planned.

A survvey of 217 hospitalized patients to predict a possible delayed post-viral sequelae of COVID-19 and possible mechanisms behind the development of these neuropsychiatric symptoms. Anti-CoV antibodies have been identified in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) of individuals with Parkinsons disease. Neural and immune cells can serve as reservoirs of latent CoV and thus could contribute to delayed neurodegenerative processes . Can be speculated that SARS CoV- 2 precipitates affect the gut microbial composition that could lead to pathogenesis of neuropsychiatric symptoms via the gut-brain axis.
