ABSTRACT
This study analyzed the cerebrospinal fluid features of 31 COVID-19 patients with neurological complications. We observed neither SARS-CoV-2 RNA in the cerebrospinal fluid, nor intrathecal IgG synthesis, but did observe signs of blood-brain barrier disruption. These results might serve as a basis for a better understanding of SARS-CoV-2 related neuropathogenesis.
