Ischaemic stroke as an initial presentation in patients with COVID-19: evaluation of a case series in an emergency in Brazil.

The disease caused by the new coronavirus, initially described in China in December 2019, became known as coronavirus disease 2019 and quickly spread to countries on all continents, becoming a pandemic with an important global impact.
