Post SARS-CoV-2 Guillain-Barré syndrome On March 26, 2020, a 64-year-old man presented himself to the Emergency department of Avicenne University Hospital with a 7day history of cough, dyspnea, diarrhea and fever. He had not recently traveled. His body temperature was 38.5°C, his respiratory rate was 30 breaths/min and the oxygen saturation was 93% on ambient air. Lung auscultation revealed diffuse crackles. A chest computed tomography (CT) showed bilateral, diffuse and subpleural ground-glass opacities with a crazy-paving appearance, and a band of air space consolidation. The real-time polymerase-chainreaction assay (RT-PCR) of nasal swab returned positive for severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). Regarding the severity of the initial picture, he received a treatment by Cefotaxime, Azithromycin and Hydroxychloroquine. The patient progressively recovered without intensive care and left the hospital on April 8.
