Abstract

Infectious SARS-CoV-2 meningitis is rare, especially as the first manifestation of a SARS-CoV-2 infection. Infectious SARS-CoV-2 meningitis can initially manifest with seizures and neuropsychiatric abnormalities, worsen to the point of coma, and occasionally lead to death. Patients with infectious SARS-CoV-2 meningitis require comprehensive evaluation and forced treatment in order to improve the often poor outcome.

摘要

传染性SARS-CoV-2型脑膜炎很罕见,特别是作为SARS-CoV-2感染的首次表现。传染性SARS-CoV-2脑膜炎最初可以表现为癫痫发作和神经精神异常，恶化到昏迷的地步，偶尔会导致死亡。传染性SARS-CoV-2脑膜炎患者需要全面评估和强制治疗，以改善通常较差的预后。
