increasing attention has been given to the impact of this virus on neuropsychiatric presentations&#46; Various pathologies have been proposed to link COVID-19 to neuropsychiatric symptoms including&#58; activation of inflammatory cascades&#44; direct invasion of CNS by the virus&#44; and neuronal injury via hypoxemia&#46;<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bb0005"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">1</span></a> Multiple cases of delirium and toxic metabolic encephalopathy have been appreciated in COVID-19 positive patients&#46; However&#44; the existing literature has suggested that symptoms in COVID-19 positive patients may present atypically compared to usual hospital delirium cases&#46;<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bb0010"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">2</span></a> Furthermore&#44; management of these symptoms remains in the exploratory phase&#44; thus far&#44; following general protocols for management of catatonia&#46; Literature is limited&#44; however&#44; by a lack of cases demonstrating use of ECT&#46;</p><p id="p0010" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">Cases reported thus far of catatonia in COVID-19 patients vary widely by demographics&#44; predominantly in those with either medical comorbidities or middle-to-late-adult onset&#46;<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRefs" href="#bb0015"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">3&#8211;5</span></a> Use of ECT is generally reserved as a later treatment option for catatonia&#46; It is a very effective treatment&#44; yet has been limited during the pandemic in many facilities due to multiple factors&#44; such as limiting elective procedures and decreased anesthesiology resources&#46;<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bb0030"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">6</span></a> However&#44; ECT may play a critical role in improving prognosis and clinical outcomes in medical and psychiatric settings&#46;</p><p id="p0015" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">This case report is unique in that it describes a case of sudden onset catatonia in a COVID-19 positive patient&#44; in an otherwise healthy young male&#44; refractory to lorazepam and antipsychotic treatment&#44; that responded adequately to ECT&#46; We address the issue of limited ECT resources during the COVID-19 pandemic and the possible implications on patients&#39;

C&#44; a 19-year-old Spanish-speaking male with unknown past medical and psychiatric history&#44; was transferred from an outside hospital for evaluation of &#8220;anorexia&#46;&#8221; He was incarcerated when he became withdrawn&#44; stopped po intake&#44; and exhibited new-onset urinary and bowel incontinence&#46; He tested positive for COVID-19 via nasopharyngeal swab PCR and was admitted to the inpatient medicine service with a diagnosis of catatonia&#46; Additional history could not be obtained due to altered mental status and mutism&#46; Initial vital signs were unremarkable including oxygen saturation of 97&#37; on room air&#46; He exhibited a fixed stare&#44; eyes closing to threat inconsistently and not tracking&#46; He did not respond to verbal or painful stimuli&#44; nor follow commands in English or Spanish&#46; He exhibited intermittent&#44; waxy flexibility and flaccidness&#46; Initial labs were remarkable for RBC&#58; 4&#46;44 &#40;L&#41;&#44; Hb&#58; 12&#46;7 &#40;L&#41;&#44; Hct&#58; 38&#46;2 &#40;L&#41;&#44; Sodium 134 &#40;L&#41;&#46; CT of the head without contrast revealed no acute intracranial process&#46; His anemia&#44; hyponatremia&#44; and hypomagnesemia&#44; were corrected&#44;attributed to poor oral intake&#46;</p><p id="p0030" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">Lumbar puncture yielded no remarkable abnormalities&#46; Video electroencephalogram &#40;EEG&#41; was negative for seizure-like-activity&#44; detailing&#44; &#8220;suppression and slowing of the cerebral rhythmic activity&#8230; indicating diffuse cerebral disturbance of nonspecific etiology&#46;&#8221;</p><p id="p0035" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">A lorazepam challenge for suspected catatonia was started with gradual up titration to 4 mg intravenously every 6 hours&#46; Minimal improvements were appreciated with intermittent communication with staff&#44; but Mr C remained otherwise unresponsive to verbal or tactile stimuli&#46; Trials of higher doses of lorazepam did not increasingly sedate nor provide significant improvement in mental status&#46;</p><p id="p0040" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">By day 25 of admission&#44; the patient had exhibited minimal improvement&#46; He demonstrated intermittent volitional behavior&#44; rising from bed to eat&#44; then returning back to bed with no acknowledgement of individuals in the room and minimal active repositioning of his limbs&#46;</p><p id="p0045" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">One week later&#44; the decision was made to begin risperidone 0&#46;5 mg PO QHS&#46; Four days after starting risperidone&#44; Mr&#46; C developed a mild fever&#44; tachycardia and hypotension&#44; was no longer speaking nor eating&#44; and exhibited immobility&#44; mild rigidity and stupor with mutism&#46; No posturing&#44; echolalia&#44; stereotypy&#44; or mannerisms were appreciated&#46; Labs revealed CCK of 344&#46; A sepsis protocol was initiated and risperidone was discontinued with concern for malignant catatonia&#46; After lorazepam dose was lowered due to the possibility of excess sedation&#44; catatonic symptoms worsened&#44; and lorazepam was re-titrated&#46; A trial of Ziprasidone 10 mg IM nightly for one week was also ineffective and discontinued due to continued autonomic instability&#46;</p><p id="p0050" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">For the next two months&#44; Mr&#46; C&#8217;s presentation remained largely unchanged&#46; Contact was finally established with the patient&#8217;s brother&#44; who reported that prior to admission&#44; Mr&#46; C had been under significant stress regarding financial strain and&#44; &#8220;disappeared&#8221;&#46; Past psychiatric&#44; substance and medical history were deemed non-contributory to his recent presentation&#46; Electroconvulsive therapy &#40;ECT&#41; was consented by the patient&#39;s brother and parents who were living in Mexico&#46;</p><p id="p0055" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">Bi-temporal ECT was performed in 5 sessions which were well-tolerated&#44; without complications&#44; and followed by significant improvement in activity&#46; Bush-Francis Catatonia Rating scale score decreased rapidly from 17 to 6&#46; Patient was ultimately discharged&#46;</p></span><span id="s0010" class="elsevierStyleSection elsevierViewall"><span class="elsevierStyleSectionTitle" id="st0025">Discussion</span><p id="p0060" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">This case was unique&#44;

Sheiner N&#46; et al&#46; presented a case series which included two females in their 50&#8217;s and one female in her 20&#8217;s who presented with catatonia related to SARS-CoV-2 with comorbid mental health diagnoses in two of the cases&#46;<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bb0015"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">3</span></a> Caan et al&#46;

the patient was a young&#44; healthy male with similar catatonia symptom presentation in the context of COVID-19 infection&#46; This might lend credence to the direct role of COVID-19 virus in predisposing infected individuals to neuropsychiatric symptoms&#46;

No obvious etiology was found in terms of illicit substances&#44; TBI&#44; or&#44; later discovered&#44; psychiatric history&#46; Catatonia in the setting of COVID-19 was the primary working diagnosis&#46; Dr Beach and colleagues from Harvard appreciate catatonia-like symptoms as part of a delirium presentation in COVID-19 positive patients&#46;<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bb0010"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">2</span></a> Atypical symptoms have included higher incidence of agitation&#44; increased muscle tone and akinetic mutism&#44; and other catatonia-like symptoms&#46; The pattern of suppression and slowing of cerebral activity indicates that Covid-related persistent delirium or other unspecified encephalopathy are a reasonable inclusion in the differential diagnosis for Mr&#46; C&#46; Throughout his early hospitalization&#44; his situational awareness and interaction with his surroundings fluctuated&#46; Additionally&#44; with the arrival of his brother&#44; he became more interactive and relating to nursing staff in Spanish&#44; perhaps demonstrating similar benefit to reorienting patients with delirium in hospital settings&#46; Given recent legal charges and the patient&#8217;s situational anxieties&#44; malingering was also considered&#46; However&#44; when it was conveyed in both English and Spanish to Mr C that his legal charges had been dropped&#44; his presentation remained unchanged&#46; After the arrival of his brother&#44; he reported limited recollection of events over the past few months including somewhat low mood and feeling anxious&#44;
