ABSTRACT
In December 2019, in Wuhan China, several cases of pneumonia of unknown etiology were reported. At the beginning of 2020, the Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS COV2) was identified as the disease's causal agent. The World Health Organization (WHO) defined this virus as COVID 19, confirming its presence in South America and Ecuador in February. Later on March 11, it was declared a pandemic. This pathology mainly affects the respiratory system; however, there is a report of neurological manifestations in patients with COVID 19. Therefore, we report the first case of Guillain BarreÌ syndrome associated with COVID 19 in Ecuador.
