Rediscovering parainfectious encephalopathy in the post-COVID-19 era

The COVID-19 pandemic has unveiled the pivotal role of systemic inflammatory responses in neurological complications, particularly parainfectious encephalopathy. Accumulating evidence has established innate immune overreaction—distinct from direct viral neuro-invasion or autoantibody-mediated reacti...
