Neurotropic and neuroinvasive capabilities of coronaviruses have been described in humans. Neurological problems found in patients with coronavirus infection include: febrile seizures, convulsions, loss of consciousness, encephalomyelitis, and encephalitis. Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) is caused by SARS-CoV2. In severe cases, patients may develop severe pneumonia, acute respiratory distress syndrome, and acute cardiac injury. While seizures and status epilepticus have not been widely reported in the past five months since the onset of COVID-19 pandemic, patients with COVID-19 may have hypoxia, multiorgan failure, and severe metabolic and electrolyte disarrangements; hence, it is plausible to expect clinical or subclinical acute symptomatic seizures to happen in these patients. One should be prepared to treat seizures appropriately, if they happen in a patient who is already in a critical medical condition and suffers from organ failure.

与冠状病毒感染有关的癫痫发作。

冠状病毒的嗜神经和神经侵袭能力已在人类中描述。在冠状病毒感染患者中发现的神经系统问题包括：高热惊厥，抽搐，意识丧失，脑脊髓炎和脑炎。冠状病毒疾病（COVID-19）由SARS-CoV2引起。在严重的情况下，患者可能会出现严重的肺炎，急性呼吸窘迫综合征和急性心脏损伤。自从COVID-19大流行以来，在过去的五个月中，癫痫发作和癫痫持续状态尚未得到广泛报道，但COVID-19的患者可能会出现缺氧，多器官功能衰竭以及严重的代谢和电解质紊乱。因此，可以预期这些患者会发生临床或亚临床急性症状性癫痫发作。应该准备适当地治疗癫痫发作，
