    <Abstract>Guillain–Barré syndrome (GBS) is a neurological disorder accompanied by several neurological signs and symptoms including progressive weakness and diminished or decreased reflexes. GBS was reported as one of the several neurological complications in MERS-CoV and SARS-CoV outbreaks. Several studies have reported GBS as a neurological complication in recent COVID-19 outbreak. We report on the case of a 55-years -old female who was hospitalized with dyspnea, dry cough, and myalgia. She developed Acute Motor &amp; Sensory Axonal Neuropathy (AMSAN), a rare variant of GBS signs and symptoms including decreased muscle strength and pinprick sensation in both lower extremities during her hospitalization.</Abstract>
