COVID Tied to Changes in Brain Microstructure

MedPage Today lterations seen in both long COVID patients and those who recovered from infection.

 People who had SARS-CoV-2 infection showed brain changes on diffusion microstructure imaging (DMI), cross-sectional data suggested.

Widespread microstructural alterations were seen in people with long COVID neurologic symptoms and in people who had COVID but recovered, reported Alexander Rau, MD, of the University Hospital Freiburg in Germany, at the annual meeting of the Radiological Society of North America

“We did see a signature in the brain microstructure that is associated with COVID-19 infection, but the pattern is different among those people with long COVID-19 and those who do not have long COVID-19,” Rau said.
