  ABSTRACT: Aim: To describe post-infectious neurological aspects of COVID-19 in a patient with progressive post-infectious peripheral (PNS), autonomic (ANS) and central nervous system (CNS) involvement due to SARS-CoV-2 infection. Background and Purpose: A variety of neurological manifestations have been described in association with Covid-19, however, progressive multisystem neurological aspects have not been described. Methods: A case report detailing the history, examination, and infectious serology associated with SARS-CoV-2, and subsequent neurodiagnostic laboratory testing and treatment. Results: Neurodiagnostic laboratory studies showed large-fiber demyelinating sensorimotor and painful small fiber sensory polyneuropathy, orthostatic hypotension, and hypometabolism of bilateral anterior and mesial temporal lobes with a possible frontal seizure focus. Treatment was initiated with high-dose immune globulin therapy. Conclusions: The combination of PNS, ANS and CNS involvement in this patient was associated with post-infectious acquired immunity to SARS-CoV-2.
