Article title: On the plausibility of late neuropsychiatric manifestations associated with the COVID-19 pandemic

Recognition of the association between acute and subacute different neuropsychiatric manifestations with the infection by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), the cause of the ongoing coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, is progressively being recognized [1]. The potential emergence of late onset neuropsychiatric manifestations after infection with SARS-CoV-2 remains to be discussed. After the “Spanish” influenza pandemic in the 20th century, an outbreak of encephalitis lethargica (EL) [2], a neuropsychiatric disorder of possible autoimmune origin emerged occurring soon after the acute phase or at some time later [3].
