The role of clinical electroneuromyography in the diagnosis of pathology of the peripheral neuromotor apparatus in persons who have suffered a new coronavirus infection COVID-19

Damage to peripheral nerves is one of the important links in the pathogenesis of the new coronavirus infection COVID-19. To determine the types and depth of nerve damage, the use of clinical electroneuromyography is required. Data from an analysis of the diagnostic results of 78 patients who had COVID-19 and were observed for damage to the peripheral neuromotor system are presented. The results of the study showed that in patients who have had COVID-19, clinical signs of damage to the peripheral nervous system, manifested in the form of dysfunction of motor and sensory nerve fibers, may persist in the long-term period.
