DISCUSSION: The mechanisms by which SARS-CoV-2 causes neurologic damage are multifaceted, including direct damage to specific receptors, cytokine-related injury, secondary hypoxia, and retrograde travel along nerve fibres. One patient who presented with respiratory complaints and X-ray changes along with neurological deficits continued to deteriorate even after starting treatment for both GBS and Covid-19, and eventually succumbed to the disease. All our patients developed features of GBS, 5-10 days after the onset of Covid-19 symptoms, which is similar to the interval seen with Guillain-Barré syndrome that occurs secondary to other infections [9] .
