ABSTRACT
We have read with interest the article by Watroba and Bryda on a new-born male with SARS-CoV-2 associated meningo-encephalitis, post-inflammatory hydrocephalus and seizures [1]. Neuro-COVID in this patient was treated with a polypragmatic approach, including phenobarbital, acetazolamide, fluconazole, acyclovir, cefotaxime, and vancomycin [1]. The study is appealing but has limitations
that raise concerns and should be discussed.
