Sumario: | Neuropsychiatric manifestations of the COVID-19, caused by SARS-CoV-2, are under close scrutiny as the virus is shown likely to either directly or indirectly affects the central nervous system although it mainly targets the respiratory tract. Here, we describe a middle-aged male who developed acute psychiatric symptoms after a recent COVID-19 infection with no prior personal or family history of psychiatric disorder. Although there are reported cases of diagnosed psychosis or affective disorders following COVID-19 infection in the literature, to our knowledge, this is the first case where the development of autoimmune encephalitis after COVID-19 was considered and ruled out. This case report describes the comprehensive evaluation of all possible organic etiology. We also aimed to discuss possible biological underpinnings of such an exceptional comorbidity. |
