Abstract
Moreover, we believe that it is possible that some patients can fit two of the proposed categories (e.g., patients with community-acquired COVID-19 can develop stroke as direct complication of SARS-CoV-2). SARS-CoV-2, COVID-19, Ischemic stroke, Hemorrhagic stroke, Cerebrovascular disease, Neurological complications Keywords: SARS-CoV-2; COVID-19; Ischemic stroke; Hemorrhagic stroke; Neurological complications; Cerebrovascular disease EN SARS-CoV-2 COVID-19 Ischemic stroke Hemorrhagic stroke Neurological complications Cerebrovascular disease 758 761 4 03/04/21 20210301 NES 210301 Dear Sirs, Increasing evidence supports the association between the novel severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), the etiologic agent of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), and neurological complications, including encephalopathy, encephalitis, Guillain-Barré syndrome, and cerebrovascular disease [[1]]. Even if the World Health Organization (WHO) has provided definition for suspected, probable, and confirmed COVID-19 cases, we believe that only patients with laboratory-confirmed SARS-CoV-2 should enter in the classification, in addition to clinic-radiological evidence of acute stroke (ischemic or hemorrhagic).
