Brain Scans Enrich Examination of Patients With Long COVID
Background
A multicenter study looked into brain hypometabolism detected by PET scans done on patients who had had SARS-CoV-2 infection and were referred for suspected neurologic long COVID.
Almost half of the scans were interpreted as abnormal, with more than a quarter of them being interpreted as severely affected.
This exam could reassure the half of patients for whom a brain impairment was suspected and enable the other half to get access to adequate care, as well as the requisite social and medical recognition for their condition.
