According to previous reports of neurologic manifestations of coronaviruses, it was expected that we would find these neurological disorders in the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), including headache, seizures, cerebrovascular disorders, and Guillain-Barre syndrome (GBS). 1,2 Guillain-Barre syndrome is an immune-mediated peripheral neuropathy, typically characterized by rapidly

We reported an association between SARS‐CoV‐2 infection and Guillain–Barre syndrome (GBS). From 37 patients with GBS, previous SARS‐CoV‐2 clinical clues, including fever, cough, and diarrhea, were recorded in 18 patients. Among them, SARS‐CoV‐2 IgG was detected in seven patients, considered confirmed as cases. SARS‐CoV‐2 PCR was positive in just one patient. Although we found no increase in patient recruitment during the pandemic compared to previous years, our study indicated that SARS‐CoV‐2 is associated with poorer outcomes regarding GBS disability scale and hospital stay.

“…According to the authors of one recent study, 37 , 38 well-planned multicenter studies are required from several Iranian and international locations that closely track the various neurologic manifestations of this infection, utilizing neuroimaging studies, CSF studies, and neurophysiologic studies. Additionally, some of these severe neurologic consequences may be curable, such as non-convulsive seizures that cause agitation and are impossible to identify without regular electroencephalography testing.…”

Background: COVID-19 infection and its neurological manifestations were seen in children although less common than adults. The aim of this study was to determine the frequency of different types of neurologic findings of hospitalized children with COVID-19. ] Methods: This retrospective study was performed on hospitalized pediatric patients aged≤18 years with confirmed SARS-CoV-2 at Children’s Medical Center Hospital. Neurological manifestations were defined as the presence of any of the following symptoms: seizure, altered mental status, behavioral/personality change, ataxia, stroke, muscle weakness, smell and taste dysfunctions, and focal neurological disorders. Results: Fifty-four children with COVID-19 were admitted and their mean age was 6.94±4.06 years. Thirty-four of them (63%) were male. The most frequent neurological manifestation was seizure (19 [45%]) followed by muscle weakness (11 [26%]), loss of consciousness (10 [23%]), and focal neurological disorders (10 [23%]). Other neurological manifestations consisted of headache (n=7), movement disorders (n=6), behavioral/personality change (n=5), ataxia (n=3), and stroke (n=3). Twenty-nine percent of our patients had leukocytosis. A neutrophil count above 70% was seen in 31% of participants. Among our patients, 81% had a positive reverse-transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) test for SARS-CoV-2. Conclusion: During the current pandemic outbreak, hospitalized children with COVID-19 should be evaluated for neurological signs because it is common among them and should not be under-estimated.
