Wilson-Konovalov disease in a patient after COVID-19 infection

Abstract

We present a rare clinical case of Wilson-C onovalov disease in a patient after a new coronavirus infection. The development of her neurological symptoms, which allowed to specify the etiology of the already existing liver damage, may have been provoked by the COVID-19 infection, in which the central nervous system is frequently involved in the pathological process. Wilson-C onovalov disease was suspected due to the presence of neurological manifestations and signs of liver cirrhosis. Subsequently, the diagnosis was confi rmed genetically, copper metabolism disorders were identifi ed and pathogenetic therapy was prescribed to eliminate excess copper from the body.
