Abstract

Coronavirüs pandemisi (COVID-19) Aralık 2019’da Çin’in Wuhan kentinden başlayarak tüm dünyayı etkisi altına alarak küresel değişikliklere yol açtı. Akut solunum sendromu koronavirüs 2(SARS-CoV-2) olarak tanımlanmaktadır. SARS-CoV-2’nin baş ağrısı, mide bulantısı, baş dönmesi, anosmi, aguzi ve periferik sinir sistemi semptomları gibi nörolojik bulgular ile ilişkili olduğu bildirilmiştir. Guillain-Barré sendromu (GBS), periferik sinir sisteminin enflamatuar hastalığıdır. Hastalığın nörolojik etkilerinin öneminin vurgulandığı nörolojik belirtiler rapor edilmiştir. GBS'nin çeşitli enfeksiyonlar sonrası ortaya çıkabilir. Olguda yaygın kas ağrısı, deride kaşıntı, döküntü ve hareket etmede zorluk şikayeti ile hastaneye başvurdu. Semptomlar arasında yürüyememe ve kolunu kaldırarak yemek yemede zorluk yer alıyordu. Bu doğrultuda COVID-19 enfeksiyonu ile ilişkili olabilecek olgu sunumun gözden geçirmesini amaçladık.
