The Emergence of unheeded clinical features in COVID 19 patients (original) (raw)

The COVID-19 pandemic has revealed various clinical features, including neurological symptoms such as hyposmia and hypogeusia, which remain underexplored. This paper discusses the potential pathogenesis of SARS-CoV-2 within the central nervous system, drawing parallels with previous coronaviruses like SARS and MERS, which exhibited neurotropic characteristics. The significance of recognizing these atypical symptoms in the preliminary diagnosis of COVID-19 is emphasized, alongside the need for further validation studies.
