Abstract

Background: COVID-19 is a virus that affects the respiratory system most commonly. However, cases of widespread effects of COVID-19 on the human body have been emerging. During our search, we found that COVID-19 associated encephalitis has been reported in literature as a severe complication of COVID-19 infection.

Case report: We report a case of COVID-19 associated encephalitis. Our patient had extensive inpatient morbidity because of this illness.

Conclusions: We believe that COVID-19 associated encephalitis is a condition with high mortality and very limited data about risk factors, diagnosis and treatment, and, as such, more studies are needed to enhance medical knowledge regarding this disease.
