Abstract

Multiple neurological complications including Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS) have been associated with COVID-19. We describe a case of GBS related to SARS-CoV-2 infection with an unusual presentation beginning with mobilization problems at home without previous classic respiratory or general manifestations. Asymptomatic infection with COVID-19 can lead to critical situations with respiratory insufficiency because of neurological complications such as GBS. Asymptomatic infection with COVID-19 can result in critical situations with respiratory insufficiency and need for mechanical ventilation because of neurological complications such as Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS).All patients presenting with GBS should be tested for SARS-CoV-2.Neurological complications including neuromuscular impairment can be part of respiratory failure secondary to COVID-19 infection.
