SARS-CoV-2, a novel zoonotic coronavirus, is currently spreading all over the world, causing a pandemic disease defined coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). The spectrum of COVID-19 ranges from asymptomatic or mild infection to rapidly progressive, acute respiratory distress syndrome and death [1].To the best of our knowledge, status epilepticus has never been described as initial presentation of COVID-19. We report a patient affected by COVID-19 whose primary presentation was a focal status epilepticus.
SARS-CoV-2,一种新型人畜共患冠状病毒,目前正在全球范围内传播,引发了一种被定义为 2019 年冠状病毒病(COVID-19)的大流行疾病。COVID-19 的范围从无症状或轻度感染到迅速进展的急性呼吸窘迫综合征和死亡[1]。据我们所知,癫痫持续状态从未被描述为 COVID-19 的初始表现。我们报告了一名患有 COVID-19 的患者,其主要表现为局灶性癫痫持续状态。
