Interestingly, research prior to the COVID-19 pandemic showed that earlier coronaviruses such as hemagglutinating encephalomyelitis virus may first enter peripheral nerve terminals before traveling to the central nervous system (CNS) via synapse-connected routes. In fact, peripheral nerve damage might occur in almost 10% of patients hospitalized for SARS-CoV-2 infection. Whether peripheral nervous system complications following COVID-19 such as neuralgic amyotrophy result from direct neuroinvasion or from an auto-immune post-infectious mechanism needs to be elucidated. The neuroinvasive potential of SARS-CoV2 may play a role in the respiratory failure of COVID-19 patients The neuroinvasive potential of SARS-CoV2 may play a role in the respiratory failure of COVID-19 patients	./cache/cord-308077-hbxpn5a1.txt	./txt/cord-308077-hbxpn5a1.txt
