March 11, 2020 marked the start of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic. COVID-19, caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2, was being reported as a severe respiratory illness. However, since the recognition of this novel virus, there has been a constant realization that it may present or manifest in a multitude of ways. At first, the typical signs and symptoms were what one would expect from a respiratory virus: cough, shortness of breath, and fever. However, as the disease became more prevalent, neurologic symptoms were reported such as headaches, hypogeusia, and hyposmia. This case report aims to add to the growing body of neurologic manifestations by presenting two cases, Bell's palsy and Guillain-Barre syndrome. Each case involves flaccid paralysis as the primary presentation.
2020年3月11日标志着2019冠状病毒病(COVID-19)大流行的开始。由严重急性呼吸综合征冠状病毒2引起的COVID-19最初被报道为一种严重的呼吸道疾病。然而,自这种新型病毒被发现以来,人们不断意识到它可能以多种方式出现或表现出来。起初,典型的体征和症状是人们对呼吸道病毒所预期的:咳嗽、呼吸急促和发热。然而,随着该疾病变得更加普遍,有报道称出现了神经系统症状,如头痛、味觉减退和嗅觉减退。本病例报告旨在通过呈现两例病例——贝尔麻痹和吉兰-巴雷综合征,来补充越来越多的神经系统表现案例。每个病例都以弛缓性麻痹为主要表现。
