Introduction
SARS Cov-2 infection is a pandemic that continues to ravage the world [1]. 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 [2]. 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 [3].
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.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
