One of the neurological complications associated with COVID-19 is Guillain Barre Syndrome (GBS). It is possible to be a complication of COVID19 due to the similarity of respiratory complication between both clinical entities. The aim of this case report is to present a case followed in the intensive care unit (ICU) with the coexistence of prolonged COVID-19 and GBS. The 68-year-old patient, whose COVID-19 symptoms had been going on for 5 weeks, was followed for 5 days in the ICU due to GBS diagnosis. During this period, the patient's symptoms regressed with IVIG treatment. ICU physicians should be careful that some neurological complications may accompany in some prolonged COVID-19 cases and that one of these may be GBS.
与 COVID-19 相关的神经系统并发症之一是吉兰-巴雷综合征（GBS）。由于这两种临床实体的呼吸道并发症相似，因此 COVID19 有可能成为一种并发症。本病例报告的目的是报告一例在重症监护病房（ICU）中同时存在 COVID-19 持续时间长和 GBS 的病例。该患者为 68 岁，COVID-19 症状持续了 5 周，因 GBS 诊断而在 ICU 中接受了 5 天的治疗。在此期间，患者的症状通过 IVIG 治疗得到缓解。ICU 医生应该注意，一些神经系统并发症可能会伴随某些 COVID-19 持续时间较长的病例出现，其中之一可能是 GBS。
