Experts say a small slice of people with long-haul COVID-19 have symptoms of dysautonomia, though its prevalence is unknown. The SARS-CoV-2 antibody profile was consistent with a post-vaccination state but ruled out previous asymptomatic COVID-19 exposure, which could have resulted in a robust immune response. Ann Neurol.

New Engl J Med. Ozgen Kenangil G, Ari BC, Guler C, Demir MK. According to reports published in the VAERS database, COVID-19 vaccines have several local and systemic neurological complications that occur in different people, from mild to severe, depending on age, sex, history of the disease, and pre-existing immunity [7]. Quantitative sensory testing: report of the Therapeutics and Technology Assessment Subcommittee of the American Academy of Neurology. In addition, skin blisters have been observed in the ear area, leading us to hypothesize that reactivation of VZV could be a cause for RHS as well as Bell's palsy [71]. Detection and quantification of antiFGFR-3 by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) has been shown inconsistent, which may also confound these results.33 Future studies are needed to clarify the significance of these antibodies, with improved and standardized antibody detection and quantification methods, so treating physicians can make decisions whether to order the antibody test and know what to do with the results. There was a recent report of Ramsey Hunt Syndrome (RHS after the Pfizer vaccination. 2022. https://doi.org/10.1093/qjmed/hcab335. Non-length dependent small fiber neuropathy.

Autonomic testing showed postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome in 22%, mild orthostatic intolerance in 11%, and sudomotor dysfunction in 36%.28 A case report also described a person who developed burning dysesthesias 1 week after receiving a second dose of COVID-19 vaccine, and subsequent skin biopsy showed reduced IENFD. 2021;14(6): e243629. These disorders include, transverse myelitis, acute diffuse encephalomyelitis (ADEM), Bells palsy, GBS, encephalopathy and seizures. Cao L, Ren L.

Management of a patient with a rare congenital limb malformation syndrome after SARS-CoV-2 vaccine-induced thrombosis and thrombocytopenia (VITT). Most patients with SFN experience a slow progressive course, with only a small percentage developing large fiber involvement over time11.9% in one cohort22 and 13% in another.7 Most individuals, however, do require chronic pain management and may be distressed by pain and worry about developing weakness or losing ambulation because of the neuropathy. 2021;122(3):7935. This case series describes two individuals with clinical presentations of PTS whose symptoms began 13 hours and 18 days following receipt of the Pfizer-BioNTech BNT162b2 and Moderna mRNA-1273 COVID-19 vaccine, respectively. Because COVID-19 vaccines are urgently approved, meaning they do not complete the standard clinical trials, the adverse effects of each vaccine should be closely monitored. Among these, the most dangerous neurological complication caused by COVID-19 vaccines, especially adenovirus-based, is cerebral venous sinus thrombosis in women of childbearing age [8].

In a recent post I talked about how COVID vaccines can enter platelets where spike protein can then be synthesized, leading to platelets undergoing an immune response - causing internal bleeding and blood clots. A Dutch study suggests a prevalence of 52.95 per 100,000 population that increases with age.1 Standardized diagnostic criteria for SFN are not fully established and skin biopsy remains the diagnostic test considered most reliable. Due to the leakage of these genetic materials and their binding to factor 4 platelet, autoimmunity develops [29]. The patient responded to symptomatic treatment very well with resolution of the symptom.29 These reports suggest that COVID-19 and COVID-19 vaccine reactions may represent new associated conditions for SFN.

In this case, too, the known mechanism is the induction of autoimmunity by molecular mimicry. Progression is slow, and most people affected by SFN do not develop large fiber involvement over time.
