Convulsive Status Epilepticus in a Child With Controlled Epilepsy and Concurrent COVID-19 Infection: A Case Report and a Quick Review

Abstract

The current unprecedented COVID-19 pandemic has been another step toward learning about the unique interaction between viral infections and human nervous system. Very few scientific papers explored neuroinvasive and neurotropic potentials of the SARS-CoV-2 virus in children. We report a child with convulsive status epilepticus and confirmed COVID-19 infection. Brief review of current available literature was discussed.
