“Study Finds No Evidence of Brain Damage from Serious COVID-19 Infections in Hospitalized Patients: Research from Maastricht University Provides Reassurance on the Possible Effects on Memory and Fatigue Nine Months Later”

Researchers see no evidence of brain damage in people who have been hospitalized with a serious corona infection, Maastricht University reports. The reason for the research was the neurological problems that doctors saw in patients who had been in ICU during the first corona wave.

But people who experienced this “show no evidence of brain damage from the disease afterwards”, says the university. The study followed two groups of corona patients: 104 people who had been in the regular nursing ward and 101 people who had been admitted to the ICU. Nine months after discharge from the hospital, the researchers used scans and tests to examine the possible brain damage and the consequences, such as memory disorders. They also asked about complaints, such as fatigue. More about this at Skipr.
