The mean age of our PD sample was 71 years old. Three patients had pre-existing dementia. The majority presented with neurologic manifestations. Metabolic encephalopathy was detected in four patients. Three patients had worsening of tremor and two patients reported falls. Six patients presented with cough and four patients presented with fever. The most common comorbid condition was hypertension in three patients. Two patients died of acute respiratory failure. The remaining eight were discharged to their pre-admission living situation, recovered to baseline PD status, and continued with the same dose of PD medications. One of the deceased patients had pre-existing dementia and experienced metabolic encephalopathy.

Cough was the most common presenting symptom of COVID-19 in PD patients.  The most common comorbid condition was hypertension.  Deaths were due to respiratory failure rather than PD related complications.  The majority of patients returned to their premorbid PD status after recovering from COVID-19. More research regarding COVID-19 in PD is needed.
