The findings also indicate a key role for cytokines produced in the immune system during infection and shed light on the molecular mechanisms of COVID-19 related delirium.

Delirium, Rare Brain Inflammation and Stroke Linked to Covid-19

Coronavirus infection can lead to an array of neurological complications, including delirium, stroke, and a rare, often fatal neuroinflammatory condition called ADEM. The neurological complications did not always correlate with the severity of respiratory symptoms. In some patients, brain inflammation was likely caused by an immune response to COVID-19, suggesting the neurological damage may be a result of immune system activation rather than the virus itself.
