- Abstract
Dear Sirs, From the start of the COVID-19 outbreak, an increasing amount of scientific literature focused on epidemiology, pathophysiology and, especially, on treatment in the acute phase of patients with severe acute respiratory syndrome due to coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection [[1]]. All patients achieved a low MRC score and showed severely reduced or absent osteotendinous reflexes on bilateral upper and lower limbs. Four patients had diagnosis of CIPNM at neurophysiological evaluation, and 3 of the remaining five patients presented neurophysiological findings consistent with common peroneal nerve compression (Table 1).
