Abstract
COVID-19 presents with respiratory symptoms and signs in the majority of cases. The central nervous system can be affected directly or indirectly, which is demonstrated by a number of neurological abnormalities and complications. The aim of this study is to present a clinical case of SARS-CoV-2-associated encephalitis and highlight the severity of this neurological illness over the course of COVID-19. Etiological diagnosis methods include examination of the nasopharyngeal swab and cerebrospinal fluid by PCR.
