Etiologic Subtypes of Ischemic Stroke in SARS-COV-2 Virus patients 2020-05-08 .txt text/plain 2971 223 56 Methods: Over the last 6 weeks, data from four centers in New York City were collected to review the possible ischemic stroke types seen in COVID-19 positive patients. We also wanted to better describe the different ischemic stroke subtypes seen in patients with SARS-COV2 infection especially with the view to assess its unique features seen in the context of COVID-19. Two patients who presented with LVO had no prior complaints of viral illness but went on to develop a severe course of the disease. Only three patients had a severe course of the pulmonary disease prior to the neurological event requiring them to be hospitalized. The LVO cases were typically younger, had a worse neurological presentation, more severe form of viral disease and higher levels of hypercoagulability markers than the non-LVO patients. Ischemic stroke can be a presenting symptom of COVID-19 and may not always be associated with severe disease markers including in the young, minorities and healthcare workers. ./cache/cord-347263-ci6mv72z.txt ./txt/cord-347263-ci6mv72z.txt
