DO ELEVATED LEVELS OF INFLAMMATORY BIOMARKERS PREDICT THE RISK OF OCCURRENCE OF ISCHEMIC STROKE IN SARS-CoV2 ?: AN OBSERVATIONAL STUDY

: Stroke, a dreaded complication of SARS-CoV2, has been reported in 0.9 to 5% of SARS-CoV2 patients. There are concerns that SARS-CoV2 infection has a significant independent association with acute ischemic stroke, even in the absence of conventional cerebrovascular risk factors. Whether elevated levels of inflammatory biomarkers have predictive value in the occurrence of stroke in SARS-CoV2 is poorly understood.
