| description | OBJECTIVE: Since the outbreak of coronavirus disease in 2019 (COVID-19), multiple systemic issues, including respiratory and nervous system complications, have evolved constantly.
CASE REPORT: We present a COVID-19 case of a 7-years old male child with Guillain Barré Syndrome (GBS) symptoms. The patient complained of cough, throat pain, and acute progressive symmetric ascending quadriparesis. Eventually, on day-12 of hospitalization, he was diagnosed with GBS. The patient’s condition worsened over time; thus, he was shifted to ICU, where he had an episode of cardiac arrest and was revived through CPR. The biochemical analysis of the CSF revealed albuminocytologic dissociation. The patient was considered for regular follow-up of GBS and presently has recovered from GBS/COVID-19 induced GBS. Thus, there is a possibility of SARS-CoV-2 infection-induced GBS in children.
CONCLUSIONS: More studies are needed to know the neurological manifestations of SARS-CoV-2 infection in the pediatric population. |
