P. Makuloluwa, K. P. Dissanayake, et al.

This case report explores the neurological symptoms in a young unvaccinated woman suffering from COVID-19 pneumonia. Despite her critical condition, she was diagnosed with encephalopathy and achieved a full recovery through conservative management. This important study underscores the necessity of promptly addressing neurological issues in COVID-19 patients. Research conducted by Ptr Makuloluwa, Kavisha P Dissanayake, and Mmpt Jayasekera.

Abstract
This case report details a young unvaccinated woman who presented with neurological symptoms alongside moderately severe COVID-19 pneumonia. The patient, initially drowsy and confused, exhibited worsening neurological symptoms despite treatment for COVID-19 pneumonia. After excluding infective and cerebrovascular causes, she was diagnosed with encephalopathy and responded well to conservative management, making a full recovery. The case highlights the importance of early recognition and appropriate management of neurological manifestations in COVID-19 patients to improve outcomes.
