ABSTRACT
Here, we describe the clinical phenotype of SARS-CoV-2-related CNS disease and evaluate SARS-CoV-2 antibody index as a tool to differentiate between direct (viral) indirect etiology. Out >4000 hospitalized patients with COVID-19, included 13 neurological symptoms suspicion neuroinflammation. On grounds, eight were classified having possible/probable relationship COVID-19. A clinically distinctive brainstem cerebellar was seen in 6/8 patients. As found positive 3/5 patients, indicating specific intrathecal IgG production, link is likely.
