Novel coronavirus (severe acute respiratory syndrome-coronavirus-2: SARS-CoV-2), which arose from Wuhan, China, has rapidly spread to other countries and developed into a pandemic. Although the respiratory manifestations of SARS-CoV-2 are well-documented, there is a considerable challenge regarding the direct and/or indirect infection in other organs. Several preliminary reports confirmed neurological manifestations in the SARS-CoV-2-infected patients. Here, we report the detection of SARS-CoV-2 from the nasopharyngeal swab and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) in a 34-month-old child with encephalitis. This finding expands the spectrum of the neurological manifestations associated with SARS-CoV-2 infection.
新型冠状病毒(严重急性呼吸综合征冠状病毒2:SARS-CoV-2)起源于中国武汉,已迅速传播到其他国家并发展成为全球大流行。尽管SARS-CoV-2的呼吸道表现已有充分记录,但在其他器官的直接和/或间接感染方面仍存在相当大的挑战。几份初步报告证实了SARS-CoV-2感染患者存在神经学表现。在此,我们报告了一名34个月大患脑炎儿童的鼻咽拭子和脑脊液(CSF)中检测到SARS-CoV-2。这一发现扩展了与SARS-CoV-2感染相关的神经学表现谱。
