ABSTRACT
The entire world is coping up with the challenges imposed by COVID-19 pandemic caused by a novel coronavirus, which started from a single case in Wuhan city of China in November 2019. Its outcomes range from asymptomatic cases to most severe diseases like severe acute respiratory syndrome. Neurological manifestations have also been reported as an outcome of coronavirus infection and Guillain-Barre Syndrome (GBS) is one of them. In our present case, we describe the correlation of GBS with subclinical SARS-CoV-2 in a pediatric patient. The patient was successfully managed with intravenous immunoglobulin and physiotherapy. In the current pandemic, any case of GBS should be evaluated for recent or remote SARS-CoV-2 infection.
