Putative mechanisms explaining neuro-COVID

With interest we read the article by Kayhanian et al. about the presumed neuro-immunological mechanisms underlying the involvement of the central nervous system (CNS) and the peripheral nervous system (PNS) (neuro-COVID), about the neuro-immunological responses to the viral infection, and about the therapeutic approaches for neuro-COVID (Keyhanian et al., 2020). Proposed mechanisms explaining neuro-COVID were direct attack of the virus, neuro-inflammation, autoimmune responses to the infection, hypercoagulability, metabolic injury, or hypoxic injury (Keyhanian et al., 2020).
