Abstract
COVID-19 has hit the entire world since late 2019 and is starting to be medically better known. Its clinical presentation is atypical in the elderly. Acute confusion is a sometimes unrecognized warning sign. It is also an element of severity of COVID-19. This viral infection should be systematically investigated for any confusional syndrome in the elderly population.
