- - The girl's symptoms improved drastically after treatment with immunotherapy using corticosteroids, suggesting that the neurological problems were likely immune-related rather than a direct effect of the virus.

In fact, many studies suggest brain damage during infection and persistent neurological symptoms after COVID-19 infection. Reverse transcription PCR test, antibody tests, Computed Tomography (CT) of the lung, and Magnetic Resonance (MR) of the brain of the patient were periodically performed during this case report for eight months after infection.
