COVID-19 in Alzheimer's Disease and Dementia (Paperback)

COVID-19 in Alzheimer's Disease and Dementia crucially summarizes the current status of the coronavirus in patients suffering from these conditions, describing why they are a common cause of morbidity. Chapters provide a general description of COVID-19, including SARS-CoV-2 structure, function and biology and its impact on the elderly with chronic conditions, including hypertension, diabetes, obesity, kidney disease, respiratory illnesses and infectious diseases. Also discussed are the effects of the virus on the immune system. Other sections shift to the impact of COVID-19 on those with dementia or Alzheimer's disease, with special emphasis on age, gender, ethnic background and lifestyle. Bringing this focus on neurodegenerative disease in one comprehensive resource, this volume is an essential reference for neuroscientists, clinicians, biomedical scientists and all others working or interested in the field.
