We report the first presumptive case of COVID-19–associated acute necrotizing hemorrhagic encephalopathy, a rare encephalopathy that has been associated with other viral infections but has yet to be demonstrated as a result of COVID-19 infection.
I don’t know what it is, but I know I don’t want it.
A mild flu, keep going to work.
According to RSNA, “... Acute necrotizing encephalopathy (ANE) is a rare complication of influenza and other viral infections and has been related to intracranial cytokine storms, which result in blood-brain-barrier breakdown,... “
Not a good thing to have
1 case. 1 effing case!
Let’s all PANIC!!!!
Literally one case in a million.
“A mild flu, keep going to work.”
I will, next week. I think I found a source for IPA 70% and KN95 masks. That will help a lot. I thought we had bought more than enough in February. I underestimated the shortages bigly.
“blood-brain-barrier breakdown”
Hmmm...so your brain cells liquify, cross into your blood stream where the waste gets filtered out by your kidneys and discarded in your urine. You are literally pissing your brains away. How does that differ from drinking beer?
There you go again, downplaying the seriousness of another emerging threat. Shouldn’t we be in an “Out of an abundance of caution...” mode and do everything we can to stop this? It sounds scary and completely out of control.
Lol!
You sound like a democrat yelling the sky may be falling. (Sorry, just had to make this joke.)
LOL!! I love it when someone speaks plain English!!!
“Acute necrotizing encephalopathy (ANE) is a rare complication of INFLUENZA and other viral infections...”
“I don’t know what it is, but I know I don’t want it.”

What, you got something against NECROTIZING? ;-)
I’ve had Mad Cow since the ‘80’s. This aint sh!t.
Words simply fail me. The poster has suggested that clinicians and radiologist look for this. I assure you I have no ability to CT scan every head for a ONE IN A MILLION case.
People have really lost their mind. Your explanation of pissing your Brian’s our is not only funny but more accurate than some of the crap I see around here
I love your explanation of blood-brain-barrier breakdown.
Do you have a simple explanation for the Krebs cycle. You may have a gift.
My suggestion of spending time and money to look for a one in a million event was hyperbole - a play on mass hysteria. A joke. I make a judgement call when a “/s” is needed. I obviously blew it this time, didn’t I?
At least you figured out pissing your brains out was a joke, so you are batting 50%. Not bad.
Nope I got it. And I loved it. I was commenting on someone upthread who thinks we should be searching for the one in a million.
Words fail me
I loved your sarcasm and wit. I am just kind of over armchair people who think we can investigate every last little hang nail that some one reports and use it to further deny my freedoms. I am a little salty today.
