Abstract
Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) has spread around the world since it emerged in Wuhan and coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has become a pandemic1. There is still little information regarding possible neurologic complications of this spread. Herein, we describe a patient with Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS) preceded by COVID-19, raising the possibility of a causal relationship.
