The novel severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) is most closely related to severe respiratory syndrome; however, recent reports showed that it is capable of causing neurological disease. Here we report a case-series of 4 critically ill COVID-19 patients who recovered from pneumonia but showed serious neurological symptoms and eventually died.
