Manifestaciones neurológicas en pacientes contagiados por covid-19

The damage caused by the SARS-COV-2 virus, responsible for the COVID-19 pathology, not only affects the respiratory system; it also manifests in the nervous system, this is explained by the virus's affinity with the angiotensin receptors (ACE 2) found in the cortex, basal ganglia, hypothalamus and brainstem. Objective: To provide an updated review of the principal neurological manifestations in patients infected with COVID-19 for accurate diagnosis and treatment. Methods: A descriptive study was conducted through a literature review, focusing primarily on analyzing recent scientific literature related to the issue, using as a bais the PRISMA guidelines for the methodology. Results: The SARS-COV-2 virus, due to its neurotropism and the impact it has on each patient's body, can affect the nervous system, leading to various manifestations in both the central and peripheral nervous system. Conclusion: This study offered valuable insights into the principal neurological manifestations present in COVID-19 infected patients and the impact of SARS-COV-2 on the nervous system.
