Study links Long COVID neurological symptoms to immune system attacking nervous system
Summary
Researchers have found evidence that some Long COVID patients experience neurological symptoms because their immune system produces antibodies that attack the body's own nervous system. The study links these autoantibodies to symptoms like headaches, fatigue, brain fog, and other neurological manifestations that persist after the initial COVID-19 infection clears. This autoimmune mechanism helps explain why some people develop lasting neurological issues following SARS-CoV-2 infection.
