AB  - The immune system's inflammatory response is a crucial defense mechanism against infectious
agents. At the onset of the pandemic, researchers primarily focused on the respiratory consequences
of coronavirus, while overlooking the virus's impact on other organs, such as the brain. However, it is
now apparent that post-covid sequelae can persist, especially in those who suffered severe forms of the
disease. These symptoms include memory impairment, excessive fatigue, and mood swings. This study
examines the possible link between the brain's inflammatory response and these prevalent sequelae, as
well as strategies to improve the quality of life for those affected.
