Quick Glance: Hospitalization for Influenza Associated with Higher Risk of Neurological Disorders
- An analysis of 77,300 individuals hospitalized with COVID-19 compared to 77,300 hospitalized with influenza revealed that those with influenza had a greater risk of subsequent neurologic disorders such as migraine, stroke, or epilepsy.
- Participants hospitalized with COVID-19 were significantly less likely in the following year to require medical care for migraine, epilepsy, neuropathy, movement disorders, stroke, and dementia compared to influenza patients.
- After considering age, sex, and other health conditions, individuals hospitalized with COVID-19 had a lower risk of needing medical care for migraine, epilepsy, and neuropathy than those with influenza.
- "The results were surprising as they indicate that hospitalization due to COVID does not lead to increased care for common neurologic conditions compared to hospitalization due to influenza," stated lead researcher Brian C. Callaghan, MD, from the University of Michigan.

- Former Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro has been officially accused of tampering with his COVID-19 vaccination records, marking the first charge against the controversial far-right leader, with potential additional allegations.
- The federal police indictment, disclosed by the Supreme Court, alleges that Bolsonaro and 16 others were involved in falsifying information within a public health database to give the impression that the former president, his 12-year-old daughter, and select individuals in his close circle had been administered the COVID-19 vaccine.
- Throughout the inquiry, numerous deceptive entries were identified between November 2021 and December 2022, alongside instances of utilizing forged documentation.
