Can SARS-CoV-2 infection trigger Parkinson Disease? A case report

Abstract

SARS-CoV-2 infection typically produces respiratory manifestations, although multiple neurological manifestations (seizures, stroke, etc.) have also been reported, it is postulated that SARS-CoV-2 (like most β-coronaviruses), has neurotropic potential. We present a case of Probable Parkinson’s Disease (PD) after SARSCoV-2 infection.
