cord-295058-c88fq1de	Ardila, Alfredo	Executive dysfunction in COVID-19 patients	2020-07-22		.txt	text/plain	650	55	27	Dear Sir, Executive function disturbances ("dysexecutive syndrome") have usually been associated with frontal lobe pathology [1, 2] . The previous information suggests than in a significant number of cases COVID-19 infection may be associated with an executive dysfunction syndrome. In addition, acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), which as a pulmonary manifestation has received much attention during this pandemic, can lead to long-term cognitive impairments. Although the paper does not elaborate on the type of cognitive difficulty experienced by this group of patients, a personal communication with the corresponding author of the paper reveals that majority of the study participants had either attention impairment or dysexecutive symptoms, suggesting a frontal lobar dysfunction in either case. Both in acute phase as well as in the long run, executive dysfunction may be anticipated to be a part of neurological consequences of this viral infection.	./cache/cord-295058-c88fq1de.txt	./txt/cord-295058-c88fq1de.txt
