Resumo(s)
Viral infections are frequently present before the clinical manifestation of Guillain-Barre syndrome (GBS).
Multiple studies on coronaviruses have shown that these viruses have neurotropic characteristics, and their
molecular mimicry can induce inflammatory demyelinating neuropathy. Herein, we describe a case of a GBS
in an 85-year-old patient infected with SARS-CoV-2, manifested with acute progressive symmetric ascending quadriparesis, urinary dysautonomia, and dysphagia, who responded well to treatment with intravenous human immunoglobulin.
