Abstrakt: The coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19) has become a global public health problem. Although it often causes symptoms such as fever, cough, dyspnea, and respiratory failure, there is increasing knowledge about atypical neurological symptoms. Atypical symptoms complicate diagnosis. In this case report, we present a female patient with Alzheimer's disease using antipsychotic medication for treatment of behavioral problems. She was brought to the emergency department for acute onset seizures and clouding of consciousness. The patient was transferred to the intensive care unit because the nasopharyngeal swab specimen was positive for COVID-19. Here, we aimed to examine the possible pathogenesis of neurological symptoms of COVID-19 infection and samples of COVID-19 cases presenting with neurological symptoms. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
