Neuronal Symptoms of Corona Virus Disease

The primary goal of this work to highlight the unusual neurological symptoms of the disease. A retrospective clinicoepidemiological study was conducted on a randomized sample of 180 patients in northern Iraq of both genders and different age groups affected with corona virus disease. The signs and symptoms of the disease were recorded by the patients themselves through a questioner designed to put the age, gender, symptoms, and the severity of symptoms. The data collected were processed and analyzed statistically using spss program version 23, three methods were used for estimating the correlation between the disease and each symptom as well as between the symptoms themselves. The distribution of symptoms according to age group and gender were also estimated. In sequence of the frequency of symptoms, the most common symptom observed in this study was fever 75.9%, next is cough 43.9%, malaise 38.9%, headache 38.4, loss of smell 36.5%, dyspnea 34%, loss of taste 32%, muscle pain 21.7%, vomiting 13.3%, tiredness 11.8%, diarrhea 9.6%, chest pain 8.7%. Neurological symptoms in the form of amnesia 20.9%, loss of concentration 19.4%, dizziness 13.3%, loss of consciousness 4.9% were observed. Mild symptoms for instance, throat pain 4.9%, gastric pain 1.5%, abdominal colic 1.5%, cold sensation 1.5%, running nose 0.5% and skin rash 0.5% were also recorded.
