Abstract

Highlights: SARS-CoV-2 has neurological system manifestations. GBS associated with COVID-19 were reported. GBS is more common during the third trimester and first 2 week postpartum. Abstract: Effects of SARS-CoV-2 on the neurological system have been investigated. Evidence of Guillain-Barre Syndrome (GBS) cases associated with SARS-CoV-2 infection have recently been reported. A 34-year-old multiparous woman with COVID-19 infection at her 37th (4/7) gestational week was presented here. She was diagnosed with Guillain Barre Syndrome at postpartum. As we know recently this was the first case mentioned in the literature. The clinical course of GBS with COVID-19 after childbirth may be similar to GBS patients not infected with COVID-19.
