found a link between influenza-like illnesses and an increased risk of stroke.can also cause gastrointestinal issues like vomitingCytokine storms, a condition where an overabundance of immune cells triggers widespread inflammation, have been cropping up in some of the sickest coronavirus patients, but they aren’t unique to severe cases of COVID-19. They can be triggered by other pathogens, including ones that typically don’t cause severe illness, like the flu.
Rasmussen also said that some of these COVID-19 symptoms may be rare, but because the disease has spread so widely and is being given such close attention, doctors and researchers are much more likely to see and catalogue even the least common types of cases. “When you have inflammation everywhere in the body, the brain doesn’t work so well,” he said. “We don’t understand all of these mechanisms, but we do know this is a very common observation when people get sick.”But there’s also a chance these symptoms are caused by the virus managing to infect the brain and damage cells.
