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.
One step closer to the causes: Neurological Covid-19 symptoms may be a side effect of the immune response with which the body defends itself against the virus.

wb.md/3Vj76D4
Quick Glance: Prolonged Presence of COVID Virus in the Body
- Researchers at the University of California in San Francisco have determined that remnants of the COVID-19 virus can persist in blood and tissue for more than a year after the initial infection.
- During their examination of long-lasting COVID, scientists identified COVID antigens in the blood up to 14 months post-infection and in tissue samples for over 2 years after the infection.
- These research findings offer compelling evidence that COVID antigens may endure in certain individuals even following regular immune responses.
- The UCSF research team is actively engaged in clinical trials to assess the potential of monoclonal antibodies or antiviral medications in eliminating the virus.
