AB  - We report a case of an 87-year-old woman with hyperactive delirium about seven days after diarrhea.
Serology for COVID-19, collected at the time of behavioral symptoms, was positive. She evolved
with a decreased level of consciousness and normal neuroimaging and electroencephalogram tests.
Endocrinological investigation found dysfunction of the hypothalamic-pituitary axis, with a good
response to hormone replacement. In conclusion, this report emphasizes the importance of being alert to
atypical clinical manifestations and unusual complications against the background of Covid-19.
