He had a fulminant course with encephalitis. He had mild symptoms of a COVID-19 infection five months ago and recovered without any sequel. Despite appropriate treatment, the patient had a devastating course.CONCLUSIONS:
This was a severe presentation of SARS-CoV-2 with central nervous system manifestations.Keywords
