Abstract :
Parsonage-Turner syndrome (PTS) is a rare syndrome of unknown etiology; however, it is believed
that an abnormality of immune response after a previous infection may be the cause of the disease.
We report neuralgic amyotrophy in a patient with a history of kidney transplantation with severe
acute respiratory distress syndrome coronavirus 2 infection. This literature is reviewed regarding
clinical presentation, etiology, treatment, and prognosis of PTS after COVID‐19 infection. We should
consider PTS as another complication of COVID‐19 infection.
