Abstract
Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), the pathogen of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), the presentation of patients with extremely low blood oxygenation, but no sensation of dyspnea and can suffer sudden death after voluntary “breaks” from the oxygen supplementation. Recognizing “happy hypoxia” as a feature of COVID-19 pneumonia has been associated with neurological syndromes such as meningoencephalitis, ischemic stroke, encephalopathy, Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS), acute necrotizing encephalopathy, and acute disseminated encephalomyelitis (ADEM) and possible mechanisms implicated in these neurological conditions are neuronal injury associated with direct virus infection, hyperinflammation syndrome associated with cytokine storm, a para- or post-infectious inflammatory disease, an immune-mediated disease, or a secondary process due to severe effects of a systemic disorder.
