New‐onset Kleine–Levin syndrome following COVID‐19 infection: A case report
This case represents the first diagnostically confirmed report of new-onset KLS following COVID-19 infection and suggests a possible autoimmune mechanism triggered by SARS-CoV-2. These findings emphasize the importance of comprehensive clinical assessment beyond objective test results and underscore the urgent need for effective treatment strategies tailored to the heterogeneous and disabling nature of KLS.
