ABSTRACT
INTRODUCTION: SARS Cov-2 infection is a pandemic that continues to ravage the world. The list of its complications continues to grow every day. CASE PRESENTATION: We report the case of a young patient admitted to intensive care for limbic encephalitis associated with severely COVID-19 infection. DISCUSSION: With the COVID-19 outbreak being a global pandemic, various neurological manifestations have been reported. On the other hand, diverse cases of limbic encephalitis related to COVID-19 have been recently described, they are related either to hyper inflammation syndrome with massive release of inflammatory cytokines or to secondary autoimmune response. CONCLUSION: Seriously ill COVID-19 patients are at a higher risk of limbic encephalitis. It is therefore important to monitor Neurological Events in COVID-19 patients. This makes it possible to start the appropriate treatments quickly and avoid complications.
ABSTRACT
The severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) pandemic developing since the late 2019 and early 2020 has caused thousands of deaths and has had an enormous impact on our health systems and economies. Thrombotic complications associated with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) have been described. Acute limb ischemia is associated with complications related to cytokine storm syndrome and acute respiratory distress syndrome. that can result in significant morbidity and mortality. However, limited published data is available regarding thrombosis in coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). Here we are presenting 2 cases of COVID-19 infection complicated by arterial thrombosis in the form of acute limb ischemia.
