Olfactory transmucosal SARS-CoV-2 invasion as a port of central nervous system entry in individuals with COVID-19

Jenny Meinhardt, Josefine Radke, Carsten Dittmayer, Jonas Franz et al.

Short summary

SARS-CoV-2 can enter the central nervous system (CNS) by crossing the olfactory mucosa, exploiting the proximity of neural and mucosal tissues. The virus was detected in both the nasopharynx and brain, with evidence of neurotropism and associated CNS damage.
