    In early December 2019, a viral atypical pneumonia outbreak was reported in Wuhan, China, caused by the SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus (COVID-19). The infection spread rapidly, reaching South America, and the first confirmed case in Lima, Peru, was in March 2020. The clinical manifestations of COVID-19 patients included fever (88.7%), cough (57.6%), shortness of breath or fatigue (45.6%), muscle pain (myalgia) (44%), sputum production (28%), headache (2.8%), hemoptysis (5%), and diarrhea (3%). Neurological complications at the central nervous system (CNS) level include hemorrhagic stroke, ischemic stroke, encephalopathies, encephalitis, etc.; at the peripheral nervous system (PNS) level, there are alterations in smell and taste, rhabdomyolysis, and Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS). The objective of this study is to determine whether there is a significant relationship between the clinical manifestations of COVID-19 and neurological complications in patients hospitalized at the Regional Hospital of Ayacucho in 2021. The method was non-experimental, descriptive-correlational-retrospective, using an epidemiological COVID-19 data collection form.
