Continuous long duration EEG was performed for neurological evaluation three days after arrival, under a regimen of sedative drugs composed of propofol 200 mg/h + sufentanyl 15 g/h. EEG revealed a strictly similar pattern compared to patient #1 with continuous, symmetric, monomorphic, diphasic (or even triphasic), delta slow waves with diffuse projection but greater amplitude over both frontal areas. recently reported the case of an 80-year-old woman with COVID-19 whose EEG successively found frontal status epilepticus, then alterations compatible with toxic/metabolic encephalopathy and finally periodic triphasic activity with short periods of 1-1.5 s (Flamand et al. To our knowledge, our report is the first to describe strikingly similar EEG patterns in two patients with COVID-19, i.e., non-reactive bifrontal monomorphic diphasic periodic delta slow waves, irrespective of sedative drugs. EEG should be more broadly performed in any patients with COVID-19 displaying neurological symptoms.	./cache/cord-353069-xkb3xy6k.txt	./txt/cord-353069-xkb3xy6k.txt
