AbstractSevere acute respiratory syndrome-correlated new coronavirus (SARS-Cov-2) continues to spread rapidly around the world. Reports regarding the neuropathy and myopathy associated with SARS-Cov-2 increase everyday. SARS-Cov-2 infection may result in peripheral neuropathy and myopathy, although direct infection of the peripheral nerve and muscle by SARS-Cov-2 is exceedingly rare. When initiating clinical treatment for COVID-19, it is crutial to distinguish the peripheral neuropathy or myopathy caused directly or indirectly by SARS-Cov-2 from those caused by other conditions. In this review, we aimed to report the peripheral nerve and muscle disorders associated with SARS-Cov-2 and their possible underlying pathophysiological mechanisms.
