Abstract
Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is a viral disease, also known as severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2, was first reported in Wuhan, China, December 2019. Respiratory manifestations from the induced acute lung injury were the most common reported findings. Few cases showed extrapulmonary manifestations. COVID-19-associated neurological manifestations have not been widely reported. In this report, we describe a case of encephalopathy in a patient with COVID-19 infection.
