Covid-19 may cause brain complications in some, say doctors

The study is small and based on doctors’ observations, so cannot provide a clear overall picture about the rate of such complications. However, medical experts say the findings highlight the need to investigate the possible effects of Covid-19 in the brain and studies to explore potential treatments. “There have been growing reports of an association between Covid-19 infection and possible neurological or psychiatric complications, but until now these have typically been limited to studies of 10 patients or fewer,” said Benedict Michael, the lead author of the study, from the University of Liverpool.

For your reference and to satisfy a curiosity of mine around the contagiousness of microbes and pathogens, especially Ebola. To give a universal metric for infectiousness contagiousness, this graphic uses the average ‘basic reproduction number‘ (also rate or ratio), the number of additional cases generated by a single case of the disease. Update: Oct 2018 – Refreshed and made the viz interactive. Correction 20th Oct 2014 – Relabelled the horizontal axis “contagiousness” (how spreadable a disease is through a population) rather than “infectiousness” (how communicable a disease is person-to-person). » See the data» See our original graphic» See the image & discussion on The Guardian» Check out our beautiful books» Learn to be a dataviz ninja: Workshops are Beautiful.
