In this article we review complications to the peripheral nervous system that occur as a consequence of viral infections, with a special focus on complications of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2). We discuss neuromuscular complications in three broad categories; the direct consequences of viral infection, autoimmune neuromuscular disorders provoked by viral infections, and chronic neurodegenerative conditions which have been associated with viral infections. We also include discussion of neuromuscular disorders that are treated by immunomodulatory therapies, and how this affects patient susceptibility in the current context of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic. COVID-19 is associated with direct consequences to the peripheral nervous system via presumed direct viral injury (dysgeusia/anosmia, myalgias/rhabdomyolysis, and potentially mononeuritis multiplex) and autoimmunity (Guillain Barré syndrome and variants). It has important implications for people receiving immunomodulatory therapies who may be at greater risk of severe outcomes from COVID-19. Thus far, chronic post-COVID syndromes (a.k.a: long COVID) also include possible involvement of the neuromuscular system. Whether we may observe neuromuscular degenerative conditions in the longer term will be an important question to monitor in future studies.

“…Only two of these cases showed typical brachial plexus involvement [3,4]. Other previous reports consisted of a sole median nerve alteration [5], a pure sensory deficit with left lateral antebrachial cutaneous electrophysiological abnormalities [6] and an isolated weakness of the trapezius muscle [7].…”

“…Since the authorization of the COVID-19 vaccines, there have been a few reported cases of PTS following vaccination 10 , 11 . Additionally, though there have been various viral entities reported to precede PTS, there are few cases in the current literature that detail an association with SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) and PTS 1 , 4 , 5 , 6 , 7 , 17 , 18 . Due to the paucity in the literature, we aim to describe three cases of patients found to have PTS shortly after proven infection with COVID-19 during the Omicron surge.…”
