- Abstract
IntroductionDespite the broad spectrum of neurological symptomatic manifestation in COVID19 patients, the brain tissue susceptibility and permissiveness to SARS-Cov2 infection is yet uncertain. This critical appraisal aims at bridging the gap by consolidating the body of evidence for meticulous evaluation of molecular neuropathological pathways and CSF diagnostic signatures of SARS-Cov2 infection in the central nervous system (CNS) that will underpin further strategic approach for neuroprotection and treatment of neurological COVID19Methods and AnalysisWe have developed the protocol of this review according to the provisions of Joanna Briggs Institute Reviewer’s Manual for Evidence Synthesis, 2015 and Arksey and O Malley’s Methodological Framewotk, 2005. The articles for this review will be sourced from several electronic databases including EMBASE, PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science (WOS), Cochrane, Crossref Metadata and Semantic scholar. Herein we generated the search strategy using the medical subject headings [ MeSH Terms], term in all field bibliography at all permutations in conjunctions with boolean operatorsEthical Clearance and Dissemination planHerein the review will not involve the human participants henceforth the ethical clearance approval is not applicable. We will disseminate the final findings of this review to scientific conferences at local and international level. The manuscript for final findings will be published on reputable journal of neuroscience.
