[6] [7] [8] Individual studies stress a specific population demographic or peculiar aspect of the EEG, but together provide a mosaic of EEG findings in varied groups from children to elderly, and asymptomatic patients to those with severe encephalopathy and status epilepticus. Here, we perform a systematic study of the EEG findings in patients with COVID-19 to synthesize the available data and to elucidate common patterns. Of interest, frontal lobe findings were common and included focal slowing, Diffuse background slowing was the most common EEG finding reported in two-thirds (68.6%) of patients indicating that a diffuse non-specific encephalopathy was the most common brain abnormality in this condition. The earliest available report of neurological complication of SARS-COV infection was a patient with respiratory failure and seizures, although EEG was not performed.	./cache/cord-272975-gzsd4ybt.txt	./txt/cord-272975-gzsd4ybt.txt
