Sumario:Viral infection of peripheral and central nervous systems (PNS and CNS, respectively) is usually accompanied by disease associated with high morbidity and mortality. Neurological disease upon viral infection is the consequence of both direct viral cytopathic effect and the response of the innate and adaptive immune responses. In some instances, even peripheral infection with viruses that do not enter the CNS or PNS results in high expression of cytokines and neuropeptides that cause neuroinflammation, impacting the function of the nervous system, as it has been observed during COVID-19 (Yang et al., 2021).
