Abstract

A COVID-19 infection-related sydenham chorea attack

Heyam Osaili*

In December 2019, the SARS-CoV-2-related Coronavirus illness 2019 (COVID-19), which is now regarded as a global pandemic, first occurred in Wuhan, China. This illness, which already exhibits signs in the circulatory and respiratory systems, can affect a variety of organ systems. Since the pandemic's start, reports of cases involving neurological involvement have been published in the literature, and investigations compel neurological abnormalities and sequelae. From severe to mild, COVID-19 can induce a wide range of neurological manifestations. To the best of our knowledge, our case is the first instance in which a patient's chorea has been linked to COVD-19.
