Although there have been several reports previously suggesting that the similar SARS-CoV-2 virus could infect neuronal cells and cause central and peripheral neurological morbidities in COVID-19 patients (3) (4) (5) , few direct detection of virus by RT-PCR in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) has casted earlier doubt whether there is indeed a direct infection of central nervous system (CNS). It is not clear whether SARS-CoV-2 viruses can be similarly detected in endothelial cells from other severe COVID-19 patients with central neurological involvement (3). It is worthy to point out that one very recent report from a Chinese case demonstrating the presence of SARS-CoV-2 virus sequence in the CSF fluid of a COVID-19 patient presenting viral encephalitis (7) .
