Early vertigo in a patient with oligosymptomatic and prolonged COVID-19: a case report

Emerging infectious disease COVID-19 is caused by the new coronavirus SARS-CoV-2 and it has been described as potentially multisystemic. Despite its predominantly respiratory syndromic presentation, a series of extra-pulmonary manifestations, including neurological ones, have been documented. This report refers to a 61-year-old male patient assisted in ambulatory regime for control of chronic comorbidities. This patient presented complaints of nasal congestion, vertigo and had positive RT-PCR for SARS-CoV-2 at the initial evaluation, remaining positive 21 days after symptoms onset. There were no aggravation signs during the course of the disease and complete resolution of symptoms occurred approximately two months after initial clinical presentation..
