Introduction: The pathophysiology linked to COVID-19 infection is gradually coming to light. Acute airway inflammation and diffuse alveolar injury have been found in recent postmortem examinations; these findings are similar to severe acute respiratory syndromes caused by both SARS-CoV and MERSCoV outbreaks. While various neuropathologies linked to COVID-19 infection have been noted in recent articles, there is still a dearth of knowledge on this crucial public health issue. Here, we go over how direct viral neuroinvasion and/ or cytokine release during the infection could cause COVID19-related neuroinflammation.

Keywords:   COVID-19 infection; neuropathology; autoantibodies; neuroinflammation.
