COVID-19 and Neurological Complications
Journal Title: International Journal of Biomedical and Clinical Analysis - Year 2022, Vol 2, Issue 2
Abstract
Coronavirus (covid-19) infection is an acute respiratory syndrome disease that started in 2019 and spread rapidly by undergoing continuous mutation. Thanks to this infection disease, which continues to show its effect all over the world, the structure of viruses has been discussed in more detail by virologists. Viruses are biological entities that can multiply within the living cell (host cell). While research on viruses continues, the modeling of covid-19 infection has begun. Thus, disorders such as encephalitis, Guillain Barre syndrome, which are neurological complications that occur as a result of acute respiratory syndrome, have been tried to be explained by the Renin angiotensin aldosterone system. The renin angiotensin aldosterone system (RAAS) has an important role in the regulation of blood pressure and the maintenance of extracellular fluid volume. In the RAAS system, ACE2 enzyme expression, which has an important role in the cell by taking on the task of exchanging substances from the outside to the inside, has been associated with COVID-19 severity and progression.
