| Sumario: | Dear Director:
Reading your article "The pandemic due to the new covid-19 coronavirus", I would like to deepen the contributions of the symptoms of this disease. What has started as a pathology manifested by a respiratory syndrome such as atypical pneumonia, is currently associated with several non-respiratory manifestations (1).
Guillain-Barré syndrome in a female traveler from Wuhan is one of the first reported neurological manifestations (2). The literature is rich in terms of headaches, seizures and strokes in seriously ill patients, although the first and last of these may be due to systemic complications of this novel coronavirus, a higher incidence of events has been reported in patients with a history of neurological manifestations. (3.4).
One of the most recent manifestations reported is neuromuscular diseases. Guidon et al. criticize the lack of rigor in the reports on neuromuscular manifestations (4).
If anything is certain, one manifestation of this pandemic is the large amount of information available in the scientific field, many of these without the same methodological rigor as before the pandemic, accentuating the responsibility of the reader to critically analyze all the information.
