Status epilepticus and the presence of SARS‐COV‐2 in the cerebrospinal fluid: A case report

Abstract

Abstract A growing number of studies indicate a broad range of neurological manifestations, including seizures, occur in patients with COVID‐19 infection. We report a 29‐year‐old female patient with status epilepticus and positive SARS‐CoV‐2 in the cerebrospinal fluid. Our findings support previous reports suggesting seizure as a possible symptom of COVID‐19 infection.
