Abstract

For the growing number of patients suffering from post-COVID-19 syndrome, there is little definitive guidance for treatment protocols or prognosis. Neurologic manifestations following acute COVID-19 infection are continually surfacing in the literature, with fatigue being the most common persistent symptom. This case study follows a 44-year-old female experiencing debilitating fatigue and neurologic symptoms persisting after the resolution of an acute SARS-COV-2 infection. The complex medical history of this patient, including past Epstein-Barr Virus (EBV) infection and Myalgic Encephalomyelitis, commonly known as Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, suggests a potential predisposition for the development of neurologic long-COVID. Through investigation of current research and treatment responses, this case report aims to gain an understanding of the complicated nature of this illness, and to propose treatments that address this specific subset of post-acute SARS-COV-2 sequelae.
