COVID-19 Infection and Simultaneous Worsening of Pre-Existing Neurologic Conditions: A Case Report Series.

Viral infection commonly causes exacerbation of chronic conditions. However, this is not yet well reported in patients with a SARS-CoV2-infection and a history of a chronic neurologic disorder. At our institute, we had a patient presenting with more definitive upper respiratory symptoms and no history of vaccination, while the other patient was a breakthrough case with minimal pulmonary symptoms. However, both cases illustrated aggravated symptoms in otherwise stable neurologic disorders. We recommend that all patients with exacerbated neurological conditions should be tested for COVID even if they are asymptomatic. Our patients responded well to high dose steroids.
