Steroid administration for post-COVID-19 Parkinsonism: A case report.

Abstract

A 45-year-old man developed parkinsonism 3 weeks after being diagnosed with mild COVID-19. Levodopa and benserazide failed to improve his symptoms, necessitating ropinirole, and steroid treatment, which included a 5-day course of methylprednisolone followed by a 3-month oral prednisolone taper. One month after initiating steroid treatment, his symptoms improved significantly.
