We report a case presenting with acute encephalitis that was diagnosed as having severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection with hyperinflammatory systemic response and recovered after therapy with immunoglobulins and cytokine blockade. Conclusion: This case report indicates that COVID-19 may present as an encephalitis syndrome mimicking acute demyelinating encephalomyelitis that could be amenable to therapeutic modulation. Despite most of the patients with altered mental in this cohort had a brain MRI performed, they did not observe any case of acute disseminated encephalomyelitis, an immune mediated disease that often occurs following viral infections [12] . The negative RT-PCR CSF results for SARS-CoV-2 along with the hyperinflammatory systemic response observed and the impressive findings in the MRI after therapy with immunoglobulins and tocilizumab suggest an acute disseminated encephalomyelitis.	./cache/cord-332510-x3znuwc0.txt	./txt/cord-332510-x3znuwc0.txt
