Nervous system involvement can be due to the direct action of the virus on the brain tissue or due to an indirect action through the activation of immune-mediated mechanisms. This study will discuss the detailed systematically evaluated clinical profile and relevant investigations and outcome of 14 laboratory confirmed SARS-CoV-2 positive patients presenting with neurological signs and symptoms. The patients were further categorized into confirmed, probable, and possible neurological associations. The probable association was found in meningoencephalitis (<jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic> = 4), stroke (<jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic> = 2), Guillain-Barr\u00e9 syndrome (<jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic> = 1), and anosmia (<jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic> = 1). The other six patients had coexisting neurological diseases with SARS-CoV-2. One patient with a large artery stroke succumbed to the illness due to respiratory complication. Memory impairment as a sequela is present during follow up of one encephalitis patient. Presently the early recognition and diagnosis of neurological manifestations remains a challenge for clinicians as the SARS-CoV-2 related neurological manifestations are in evolution. A long-term correlation study of clinical profile, radiological and laboratory investigations, along with neuropathological studies is needed to further understand the pathophysiology behind the SARS-CoV-2 neurological manifestations. Further understanding will facilitate timely recognition, therapeutic intervention, and possible prevention of long-term sequalae.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3389\/fneur.2020.588879","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,11,24]],"date-time":"2020-11-24T05:15:04Z","timestamp":1606194904000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3389\/crossmark-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":12,"title":["Neurological Associations of COVID-19\u2014Do We Know Enough: A Tertiary Care Hospital Based Study"],"prefix":"10.3389","volume":"11","author":[{"given":"Suman","family":"Kushwaha","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Vaibhav","family":"Seth","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Prateek","family":"Bapat","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"KiranGowda","family":"R","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Monali","family":"Chaturvedi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Renu","family":"Gupta","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Sonali","family":"Bhattar","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Siddharth","family":"Maheshwari","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Aldrin","family":"Anthony","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1965","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2020,11,24]]},"reference":[{"key":"B1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"P767","DOI":"10.1016\/S1474-4422(20)30221-0","article-title":"Neurological associations of COVID-19","volume":"19","author":"Ellul","year":"2020","journal-title":"Lancet Neurol"},{"key":"B2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"2108","DOI":"10.1373\/clinchem.2003.025437","article-title":"Detection of SARS coronavirus RNA in the cerebrospinal fluid of a patient with severe acute respiratory syndrome","volume":"49","author":"Hung","year":"2003","journal-title":"Clin.
