COVID-19, caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2, typically presents with respiratory symptoms and fever, but still a variety of clinical presentations have been reported. In this study, it was aimed to report a case of COVID-19 with an atypical presentation and an atypical course. As well, the recovery phase was complicated with GBS and consequently cytomegalovirus infection. It should be kept in mind that patients with COVID-19 severe disease need to be followed for neurological and other complications which may arise during the course of critical illness.
