Neurological manifestations in COVID‐19. Fever with headaches (A) may occur early in COVID‐19 patients. Specific manifestations related to neurological deficits like loss of smell, taste, ataxia and convulsions have been reported in COVID‐19. The possible entry of SARS‐CoV‐2 to reach the brain via cribriform plate (B) or after systemic circulatory dissemination following infection of the lung (C), in early or late phases of COVID‐19 may result in loss of involuntary control of breathing resulting in acute respiratory insufficiency requiring assisted ventilation (D)
