Abstract

The current coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic is caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2. Due to the increasing number of confirmed cases and accumulating clinical data, in addition to the predominant respiratory symptoms, a significant proportion of patients with COVID-19 experience neurological complications. Presumedly, several mechanisms, such as direct viral effects on the brain parenchyma and endothelium, and activation of the inflammatory and thrombotic pathways, cause these neurological disorders. Herein, the literature focusing on encephalitis among the central nervous system disorders associated with COVID-19 was reviewed.
