Description

SRNA is joined by Dr. Benjamin Greenberg and Dr. Michael Levy for an Ask the Expert podcast: "Latest Updates on COVID-19 and Rare Neuroimmune Disorders." The experts begin by discussing risk factors for individuals diagnosed with rare neuroimmune disorders contracting COVID-19 and having severe cases of COVID-19 if infected. Treatment and potential vaccination options are discussed, as well as the possible effect of immunosuppressant medication on individuals diagnosed with COVID-19. The experts explain cytokine storms, inflammatory issues such as Kawasaki's, and the possibility of neurological deficits after contracting COVID-19. Finally, the experts discuss the impact of COVID-19 on research, including research into the effects of COVID-19 on individuals with rare neuroimmune disorders as well as unrelated ongoing research studies.
