Neurotropic and neuroinvasive properties of SARS-CoV-2 are supported by several observations including the presence of virus particles in the cerebrospinal fluid of patients with significant nervous system symptoms [3] . Currently, it is difficult to distinguish whether neurological complications of COVID-19 are a consequence of direct or indirect effects of viral infection. Another mechanism relies on blood circulation and angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) receptors that are expressed on glial cells, neurons, and capillary endothelium and are involved in virus entry [4] . Molecular mimicry that could be associated with the development of autoimmunity is another mechanism by which SARS-CoV-2 may trigger an immune response against nervous system-specific proteins [5] .
