Author ProfileAbstract
We present a case series of 5 patients who were found to have COVID-19
encephalitis. There is still no disease defining test for diagnosis so
the mainstay of diagnosis is the exclusion of all common causes of
encephalitis. Brain MRI and CSF analysis perform an ancillary in the
diagnostic tools.
