Coronavirus disease 19 (COVID-19) is known to manifest itself predominantly with respiratory symptoms. However, previous experiences with this disease and many scientific studies have drawn attention to its neurological manifestations. The link between COVID-19 and many neurological diseases, including Guillain Barré syndrome (GBS), has been pointed out. Although GBS is considered a monophasic disease, its relapses occur in 2-6% of cases. We present the case of a female patient with recurrent GBS caused by COVID-19. Given that 2-6% of patients experience a relapse of GBS, and that the COVID-19 pandemic is recognized as a possible trigger of the relapse, we emphasize the importance of intensive neurological monitoring for patients diagnosed with COVID-19 who have a history of GBS.
