Abstract
The main tropism of the novel coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is respiratory. Increasing evidences show that SARS-CoV-2 is not always confined to the respiratory tract but can also invade the central nervous system (CNS) and induce neurological diseases. We report two cases illustrating this phenomenon. This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved.
Keywords: Coronavirus; Nervous system; SARS coronavirus.
