Dr. Katinka van der Merwe, founder of The Spero Clinic in Fayetteville, Arkansas, has announced the release of her new book examining neurological symptoms in children following COVID-19 infection.
The book, titled “Neurochaos: How COVID Rewired the Brains of Our Children,” explores the intersection of viral illness and autonomic nervous system function in pediatric patients. According to Dr. van der Merwe, many families report that their children experience persistent symptoms following SARS-CoV-2 infection, including neurological changes, fatigue, and pain conditions.
“We’re seeing children whose symptoms extend well beyond the acute phase of illness,” Dr. van der Merwe stated. “These families often navigate multiple specialists while searching for comprehensive care approaches.”
The book outlines Dr. van der Merwe’s clinical perspective on Pediatric Long COVID, drawing from her background in treating complex chronic pain and post-viral conditions. Her approach emphasizes vagus nerve function and autonomic nervous system regulation as central factors in persistent symptoms.
