Leaky blood–brain barrier in long-COVID-associated brain fog

Nature Neuroscience volume 27, pages 395–396 (2024)Cite this article

Subjects

Long COVID has remained an on-going public health issue in the years following the global pandemic. Here, we report blood–brain barrier disruption in patients with acute SARS-CoV-2 infection and brain fog, and patients presenting with long COVID, brain fog and cognitive decline, compared to those with long COVID without any neurological symptoms.
