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. This virus is known to cause widespread lung infection and hypoxia [1]. Peripheral neuropathy refers to the many conditions that involve damage to the peripheral nervous system, which is a vast communications network that sends signals between the central nervous system (the brain and spinal cord) and all other parts of the body. The diagnosis of PTS was confirmed by using both electrodiagnostic testing and 3.0-T MR . Khan S, Zhou L. Characterization of non-length-dependent small-fiber sensory neuropathy. 2021;358: 577661.

MeSH Diagnostic criteria for small fibre neuropathy in clinical practice and research. Small fiber neuropathy (SFN) is common and can be associated with many medical conditions, including reports of an association with COVID-19. Of the 17 patients (aged mean 43.3 years, 68.8% women 94.1% White) who had COVID-19 between February 21, 2020, and January 19, 2021, 16 had mild COVID and 1 had severe COVID due to critical care . Most patients first describe it as a stabbing, burning, or abnormal sensation of the skin, such as tingling or itchiness. Springer Nature. Progression is slow, and most people affected by SFN do not develop large fiber involvement over time. Continuum (Minneap Minn). Venous sinus thrombosis and cerebral hemorrhage are more common in women between the ages of 30 and 50 than in men (Table 2) [8]. 2021;385(8):7208.

SFN diagnosis is established when IENFD is reduced in comparison to age- and sex-adjusted worldwide normative values of IENFD at the distal leg.15 A recent study suggests that IENFD at the distal leg might also be influenced by ethnic ancestry,16 with normative values potentially needing further studies and adjustment for specific populations to improve the diagnostic sensitivity.

Abraham G, Bhalala OG, de Bakker PI, Ripatti S, Inouye M. Towards a molecular systems model of coronary artery disease. Google Scholar. We have identified a case of biopsy-proven small fiber neuropathy as a post-vaccination complication. 42(45):36675. Sodium channelopathy is not exceedingly rare in pure SFN, with a recent screening study detecting potential pathogenic variants of voltage-gated sodium channel genes, including SCN9A, SCN10A, and SCN11A, in 132/1139 (11.6%) patients with pure SFN.24 Genetic screening for Fabry disease in people with SFN is not cost-effective and should be done only if other clinical features are present.25 Familial amyloidosis associated with transthyretin (TTR) gene mutations usually affects both large and small nerve fibers, and should be suspected if renal, cardiac, or hepatic abnormalities and bilateral carpal tunnel syndrome are present.26, BOX. Because the study measured just one possible facet of SFN (sudomotor dysfunction), it's possible . Clin Neurol Neurosurg. Acta Neurol Belg. Ramdeny S, Lang A, Al-Izzi S, Hung A, Anwar I, Kumar P.

It is noteworthy that rare and scattered reports have been published on the side effects of Sinopharm and other inactivated virus-based vaccines (Table 1). It is important to remember that COVID-19 is not the only virus that causes these symptoms of reduced smell. Intraepidermal nerve fiber density at the distal leg: a worldwide normative reference study. Autonomic neuropathy can be a complication of many diseases and conditions and can be a side effect from some medications. It is under development for the treatment of autoimmune small fiber neuropathy, X-linked agammaglobulinemia, hypogammaglobulinemia, chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy (CIDP). 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. J Eur Acad Dermatol Venereol. Three patients had pre-existing but controlled neuropathy risk factors. CAS Blauenfeldt RA, Kristensen SR, Ernstsen SL, Kristensen CCH, Simonsen CZ, Hvas AM.

Also, there is ample evidence that the Pfizer and AstraZeneca vaccines are associated with optic nerve inflammation and vision disorders and are more common in middle-aged people [70]. Evidence for the criteria strength and consistency is weak, however. Keywords: Because we may see more people with painful SFN after COVID-19 and this may be immune-mediated, it would be helpful to study whether IVIG can expedite recovery, especially for those with severe neuropathy and poor response to symptomatic treatment. A small study of patients suffering from persistent symptoms long after a bout of COVID-19 found that nearly 60% had nerve damage possibly caused by a defective immune response, a finding that . 2021;64(1):E1-E2.

SFN may underlie the paresthesias associated with long-haul post-COVID-19 symptoms. California Privacy Statement, 2022 Oct 9;10(10):2525. doi: 10.3390/biomedicines10102525. Vaccines. Treating or managing any underlying cause is key for treatment. Etiology-specific treatment is the key to improving symptoms and prevention of SFN progression. The benefit of topical anesthetics, however, is often limited. Recommended first-line medications include tricyclic antidepressants, serotonin-norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors (SNRIs), antiseizure medication pregabalin and gabapentin, and topical anesthetics.37,38 Tramadol, a semisynthetic opioid analgesic, is a second-line choice.

BLOOD TESTS TO EVALUATE ETIOLOGIES OF SMALL FIBER NEUROPATHY, Thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) and free thyroxine (T4), New painful paresthesia and numbness within 2 months of SARS-CoV-2 infection has been observed,27 and some individuals with these symptoms also develop intense SFN symptoms acutely and diffusely. In a study of 17 patients referred for neurological evaluation of otherwise-unexplained long-COVID, most had test results demonstrating peripheral nerve damage. Following these events, as expected, peripheral blood cells and albumin enter the brain and disrupt the osmotic balance [10]. Strokes can damage brain cells and cause permanent disability. Thaisetthawatkul P, Fernandes Filho JA, Herrmann DN. If there is history of gastrointestinal symptoms or gluten intolerance, evaluate for celiac disease with tests for gliadin and tissue transglutaminase antibodies and small bowel biopsy. Reducing your risk factors for stroke and head injury, managing your diabetes well, and lowering high blood pressure can all be helpful in preventing neuropathy.
