Introduction
Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) could infect various organs by different mechanisms (1). This includes the central nervous system (CNS) and peripheral nervous system (2). Examination of autopsy tissue from the patients with SARS-CoV-2 infection demonstrated that this virus has the potential to enter the CNS via attacking the vascular system and damaging the blood-brain barrier (3). Furthermore, post-mortem examination of patients infected with COVID-19 has revealed that SARS-CoV-2 could directly target cortical neurons, which may be associated with immune cell infiltration in the brain (4-5). Among various neurological manifestations, the occurrence of seizures during the acute phase of SARS-CoV-2 infection has been reported (5-6). Here, we report a patient with status epilepticus and a positive SARS-CoV-2 ribonucleic acid test of the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF).
