Neurological involvement among non-hospitalized adolescents and young adults 6 months after acute COVID-19.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

The post-COVID-19 condition (PCC) is characterized by debilitating persistent symptoms, including symptoms suggesting neurological aberrations such as concentration difficulties, impaired memory, pain, and sleep disturbances.
