The Covid-19 outbreak caused a joint movement of researchers from around the globe in a way never before seen in the history of modern science, with the purpose of elucidating the entire pathophysiology of the disease, caused by the Sars-Cov-2 virus, and its systemic alterations that go beyond the involvement of the respiratory system. There is now widespread interest in investigating a relationship between Sars-Cov-2 infection and the involvement of other systems, such as the central nervous system, on triggers for manifestations such as Guillain-Barré Syndrome, and dysautonomia. The present work reports the case of a 42-year-old physician, who in December 2020 started with symptoms of flu-like syndrome, later diagnosed with Covid-19 by RT-PCR, presented dysautonomic symptoms, with intense episodes of sweating without triggering factors physiological factors, which directly affected their quality of life.
