Multiple Sclerosis following SARS-CoV-2 infection	2020-07-07		.txt	text/plain	1544	93	44	However, available information about demyelinating complications of the central nervous system (CNS) is limited with only one report of acute disseminated encephalomyelitis (ADEM) in a severe COVID-19 patient being published to date 5 and a single case of meningo-encephalitis 6 , the latter with the presence of SARS-CoV-2 in the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) confirmed by PCR. As viral infections have been linked to the development of demyelinating diseases 7 it would be interesting to know if this relationship also exists in the case of SARS-CoV-2. We present a case of first presentation of demyelinating disease in the form of optic neuritis following SARS-CoV-2 infection. In our case, the patient presented symptoms attributed to COVID-19 infection (anosmia and dysgeusia) prior to the visual manifestations. In this case, SARS-CoV-2 may have acted as a precipitating factor rather than multiple sclerosis being a direct consequence of the infection.	./cache/cord-278370-fuu20ae7.txt	./txt/cord-278370-fuu20ae7.txt
