Neurologist Khoroshev said that COVID-19 can lead to stuttering an unexpected consequence of the postponed coronavirus infection. Stuttering is a new “side effect” of COVID-19.
“As a rule, logoneurosis is the cause of stuttering, but damage to the area that is responsible for speech can also cause stuttering. It can be almost unequivocally said that with COVID-19, almost everything can be. Coronavirus can cause stuttering if the nerve tissue responsible for speech is damaged. Due to the fact that inflammation can occur there, because it can directly penetrate into this group of nerve cells, “the doctor said, adding that the infection can also lead to thrombosis, ischemia and infarction of this group of nerve cells.
Khoroshev compared COVID-19 with multiple sclerosis. According to him, both can cause symptoms anywhere in a person. He noted that the coronavirus can cause inflammation in any organ and even lead to massive thrombosis, which can threaten with ischemia or tissue infarction.
Earlier, Deputy Director of the Gamaleya Center Denis Logunov revealed a way to manage the coronavirus. In his opinion, it is possible to truly influence the infection only with the availability of drugs. He called drugs for COVID-19 a prerequisite for defeating the infection. Only if they are present will the virus become controllable, the specialist believes.
