dc.description.abstractAbstract Human coronavirus NL63 (HCoV-NL63) belongs to the human coronavirus family but is distinct from other common coronaviruses such as HCoV-043, HCoV-229E, and SARS-CoV-1 and SARS-CoV-2 viruses. It causes a mild upper respiratory tract infection, affecting children and adults. The usual symptoms associated with the HCoV-NL63 infection are vomiting, a runny nose, and a sore throat. In vivo, HCoV-NL63 showed neurotropism as it can be detected in the CSF, through which it disseminates into the brain and the spinal column. Herein, we describe the case of a 14-year-old female patient who initially presented with disorientation and a drop in consciousness level and was admitted as a case of encephalitis to the pediatric intensive care unit.en_US
