MedPage Today (3/28, George) reports, “Two groups of long COVID patients – those hospitalized for acute COVID, and those with mild SARS-CoV-2 infection who weren’t hospitalized – had different neurologic manifestations,” investigators concluded. The study revealed that “long COVID patients who were hospitalized with acute infection more frequently had an abnormal neurologic exam…and performed worse on processing speed, attention, and working memory tasks than patients who weren’t hospitalized,” whereas patients “with mild infection who weren’t hospitalized had brain fog (81%), headache (70%), anosmia (56%), dysgeusia (55%), and dizziness (50%) as their main neurologic long COVID symptoms.” The findings were published online in the Annals of Neurology.
