Most COVID-19 patients seem to exhibit pulmonary symptoms before neurological ones [49]. About a third of diagnosed COVID-19 patients have some form of symptomology of suspected neurological origin, which might include headache, dizziness, impaired consciousness, ataxia, epilepsy, and cerebrovascular disease [49]. Besides an impaired or absent sense of smell or taste, vision disturbances, neuralgia, and skeletal muscle damage have also been reported [49]. Nucleic acid from the SARS-CoV-2 virus has been detected in the cerebrospinal fluid of patients, and the virus itself has been identified in brain tissue on autopsy of patients who died of COVID-19 [49]. Such findings are rare but confirm that the SARS-CoV-2 virus can enter the CNS. A 24-year-old Japanese man with COVID-19 presented with generalized epileptic seizures and decreased consciousness; RNA from the SARS-CoV-2 was not detectable in his nasopharynx but was identified in the cerebrospinal fluid [56]. Using a polymerase chain reaction (PCR) assay, the SARS-CoV-2 was likewise detected in the cerebrospinal fluid of an obese 40-year-old female COVID-19 patient with diabetes [57].
