Abstract

With interest we read the review article by Battaglini et al., 2020 about the pathophysiology of neurological disease in SARSCoV- 2 infected patients with COVID-19. The authors discuss three possible mechanisms, viral neurotropism, hypercoagulability and inflammation, and brain-lung crosstalk. We have the following comments and concerns.
