Abstract

1]. On the other hand, in a retrospective review of 214 cases assisted during the epidemic outbreak in Wuhan, symptoms attributable to both the CNS and the PNS are described in a relevant percentage (Mao L et al MedRxiv 2020.02.22.20026500). Based on these data, we establish the hypothesis that neurological involvement in the acute phase and in the medium or long term may condition the prognosis and quality of life in patients surviving the infection. The objective of this project is the clinical, biological and molecular characterization of neurological involvement in a prospective cohort of patients surviving SARS-CoV-2 infection.
