Narcolepsy following COVID‐19: A case report and review of potential mechanisms

KEY CLINICAL MESSAGE: The immune activation in COVID‐19 may trigger narcolepsy in vulnerable patients.

description KEY CLINICAL MESSAGE: The immune activation in COVID‐19 may trigger narcolepsy in vulnerable patients. We suggest clinicians carefully evaluate patients with post‐COVID fatigue and hypersomnia for primary sleep disorders, specifically narcolepsy. ABSTRACT: The patient is a 33‐year‐old Iranian woman without a significant past medical history with the full range of narcolepsy symptoms that started within 2 weeks after her recovery from COVID‐19. Sleep studies revealed increased sleep latency and three sleep‐onset rapid eye movement events, compatible with a narcolepsy‐cataplexy diagnosis.
