Can covid cause meningitis?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Little question in many COVID-19 patients that the brain was involved, and a common issue is loss of smell and taste. Long COVID-19 has been shown pathologically to involve brain tissue, but this is more of an "encephalopathy". True meningitis would be atypical.
