Abstract

Infection from SARS-CoV-2 virus has developed into a worldwide pandemic. Potential neurological complications include meningitis, encephalitis, Guillain-Barre syndrome, cerebrovascular disease, seizures, and demyelinating disease. In this paper, we describe a case of newly diagnosed multiple sclerosis co-occurring with active COVID-19 infection.
