Coronavirus disease 19 (COVID-19) is an emerging infectious disease caused by
severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). In this scenario,
managing acute medical conditions, such as stroke, requires a timely treatment
together with proper strategies that minimize the risk of infection spreading to
health care workers and other patients. We report the case of a 79-year-old
woman, who was admitted for a wake-up stroke due to occlusion of the left middle
cerebral artery. She was treated outside the COVID-19-dedicated track of the
hospital because she had no concomitant signs or symptoms suggestive of
SARS-CoV-2 infection nor recent contact with other infected individuals.
Post-mortem nasal and pharyngeal swab was positive for SARS-CoV-2 infection. We
propose that hyperacute stroke patients should be tested for SARS-CoV-2 infection
at admission and then managed as having COVID-19 until cleared by a negative
result. We are aware that such measure results in some delay of the acute
treatment of stroke, which could be minimal using well-exercised containment
protocols.
