Abstract:
Cases of severe central nervous system (CNS) complications have been reported in relation to coronavirus-19 (COVID-19). Cases of encephalitis have been reported primarily in older patients with multiple comorbidities. We present a case of encephalitis in a young female patient with a history of chronic marijuana use that presented with nausea, vomiting, and acute altered mental status. Extensive testing for infectious and autoimmune causes of encephalitis were negative, except for a positive COVID-19 test. She was treated with steroids and intravenous immune globulin (IVIG) and improved with residual mutism.
