cord-296950-9dldbs6o	El-Zein, Rayan S	COVID-19-associated meningoencephalitis treated with intravenous immunoglobulin	2020-09-06		.txt	text/plain	1832	122	43	Neurologic manifestations in patients infected with SARS-CoV-2 have been reported such as anosmia, ageusia, ataxia, seizures, haemorrhagic necrotising encephalopathy, and Guillain-Barré syndrome. The SARS-CoV-2 CSF PCR was negative; however, a high index of suspicion remained due to the temporal relationship of his current symptoms and the recent COVID-19 pneumonia. Our report describes a case of encephalitis associated with SARS-CoV-2 which showed clinical improvement with IVIg therapy. Moriguchi et al 5 described what appears to be the first case of COVID-19-associated meningoencephalitis presenting with convulsions and confirmed with a positive SARS-CoV-2 CSF PCR; their patient had abnormal MRI findings of the medial temporal lobe and was treated with favipiravir. Paniz-Mondolfi et al 6 reported a case of COVID-19-associated pneumonia in a 74 years old with Parkinson's who succumbed to his illness on day 11; however, SARS-CoV-2 was found in the brain capillary endothelium and neuronal cell bodies on postmortem examination.	./cache/cord-296950-9dldbs6o.txt	./txt/cord-296950-9dldbs6o.txt
