Article Synopsis
- SARS-CoV-2, which causes COVID-19, has rapidly spread since late 2019 and affects not just the respiratory system but also exhibits neuropsychiatric symptoms.
- A study compared ten patients who died from COVID-19 to ten age-matched controls, focusing on brain immune cell responses to identify whether observed brain damage is due to the virus or the body's reaction to severe illness.
- Results indicated greater microglial activation in younger COVID-19 patients, while older patients showed an increase in reactive gliosis unrelated to COVID-19, suggesting a need for more extensive research with diverse immunohistochemical markers.
