A woman reportedly exhibited bizarre behavior due to side effects related to COVID-19, doctors said.
The unidentified woman suffered from “delirious mania,” causing her to take off her clothes “for no reason,” according to a British Medical Journal case report. Her nationality and age were also not specified besides being in her 30s.

“A woman in her late 30s developed a mild cough and diffuse bodily aches and attended for a COVID-19 test (reverse transcription PCR (RT-PCR)). The test was positive, she was advised to home quarantine but no specific treatment was commenced given her mild symptoms,” the case report read. “The patient reported a mild cough and loss of taste but no other physical symptoms.”
As symptoms worsened, the patient reportedly began talking to people who weren’t in the room, drinking soap, and removing her clothes.
“She had appeared confused, talking to people who were not there (suggesting she was responding to hallucinations), calling family members by the wrong name and on one occasion taking her clothes off for no reason,” the report continued. “On the day of admission, she impulsively drank 100 mL of body wash which was the final factor leading her relative to bring her to hospital.”

It was also listed the patient professed “grandiose religious ideas believing she had a special ‘spiritual power’ from God that she could give to others,” which her family confirmed was not normal for her.
She had no family history of mental health issues, and the case suggested delirious mania is “part of the range of neuropsychiatric disorders that can occur in COVID-19,” according to the report.
