What does this mean in practice? As explained by the neurologist, COVID-19 can penetrate the nervous system, including the brain. There, it can cause damage and lead to the activation of the immune system. The result can be an autoimmune attack. The blood vessels swell because inflammation occurs. As a consequence, blood flow may be obstructed, leading to an ischemic stroke. This is what the little patients who came to the Polish Mother’s Health Center in Łódź struggled with.

Social responsibility in Poland is unsatisfactory. Vaccination of the society is very low. Meanwhile, in children, we see more and more health and life-threatening complications
