Popis: The virology of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) and the human immune response to the virus are under vigorous investigation. There are now several reports describing neurological symptoms in individuals who develop coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), the syndrome associated with SARS-CoV-2 infection. The prevalence, incidence, and clinical course of these symptoms will become clearer in the coming months and years through epidemiological studies. However, the long-term neurological and cognitive consequence of SARS-CoV-2 infection will remain conjectural for some time and will likely require the creation of cohort studies that include uninfected individuals. Considering the early evidence for neurological involvement in COVID-19 it may prove helpful to compare SARS-CoV-2 with another endemic and neurovirulent virus, human immunodeficiency virus-1 (HIV-1), when designing such cohort studies and when making predictions about neuropsychological outcomes. In this paper, similarities and differences between SARS-CoV-2 and HIV-1 are reviewed, including routes of neuroinvasion, putative mechanisms of neurovirulence, and factors involved in possible long-term neuropsychological sequelae. Application of the knowledge gained from over three decades of neuroHIV research is discussed, with a focus on alerting researchers and clinicians to the challenges in determining the cause of neurocognitive deficits among long-term survivors.
