a case of possible motor-sensory symptoms event associated with sars-coronavirus-2

A new infection emerged into the world which has been declared a global pandemic in december 2019, termed sars-cov-2 based on its first pulmonary manifestations. also, neurologic consequences can be disturbing complications of these respiratory viral diseases. here we present a 51-year-old nurse with motor-sensory symptoms following developed mild coryza symptoms including sore throat, general malaise, and conjunctivitis. however, a week of ocular muscle discomfort and weakness preceded coryza symptoms. she was returned negative by nasopharyngeal swab test twice for detection of the sars-cov-2 genome by a real-time polymerase chain reaction (pcr) and chest x-ray (cxr) examination. since the patient had neurological symptoms, mri was performed, which showed inflammation in the spinal cord and meninges. cerebrospinal fluid (csf) fluid investigation for immunological and covid-19 examination showed sars-cov-2 involvement in this patient. the patient's characteristics show that the involvement of covid-19 is not limited to the lungs or gastrointestinal tract, and the nervous system, despite the presence of a brain barrier, can be invaded by the virus. from this point of view, we should expect a shadow of the involvement of different parts of the nervous system in covid-19.
