Abstract

COVID-19, caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2, typically presents with respiratory symptoms and fever, but still a variety of clinical presentations have been reported. In this study, it was aimed to report a case of COVID-19 with an atypical presentation and an atypical course. As well, the recovery phase was complicated with GBS and consequently cytomegalovirus infection. It should be kept in mind that patients with COVID-19 severe disease need to be followed for neurological and other complications which may arise during the course of critical illness.

Özet

COVID-19 tipik olarak solunum semptomları ve ateşle kendini göstermekte bununla beraber çeşitli klinik bulgular bildirilmiştir. Atipik bir başlangıç ve atipik bir seyir ile takip edilen COVID-19 vakası bildiriyoruz. Ayrıca iyileşme süreci de GBS ve eş zamanlı sitomegalovirüs enfeksiyonu ile seyretti. Ağır COVID-19 hastalarının kritik hastalık seyrinde ortaya çıkabilecek nörolojik ve diğer komplikasyonlar açısından takip edilmesi gerektiği unutulmamalıdır
