McArthur JC, Stocks EA, Hauer P, Cornblath DR, Griffin JW. Screening for SFN etiologies begins with a battery of blood tests that should be ordered for every person with SFN (Box), considering a recent study showed 26.7% of people with SFN known to have underlying associated conditions before evaluation had additional underlying conditions identified at diagnosis of SFN.21 There is still no consensus on what blood tests should be done before diagnosing a patient with idiopathic SFN if all test results are negative. -, Blitshteyn S, Whitelaw S.

Side effects of COVID-19 vaccination have been reported more frequently in people with a history of immune-related diseases or who are more sensitive to age and physiological conditions. Autonomic neuropathy describes many conditions that cause the autonomic nervous system (ANS) not to work. 2021;385(8):7208. Bell's palsy and small fiber neuropathy are more commonly observed in mRNA-based vaccines [63, 64]. 2021;14(7): e243975. 2021;202:1823. AntiTS-HDS and antiFGFR-3 were more common in female persons and those with NLD-SFN.31 Another retrospective study of 322 people with pure SFN and dysautonomia detected antiTS-HDS in 28% and antiFGFR3 in 17%, but the presence of these antibodies did not correlate with neuropathy symptom scores, autonomic dysfunction, or IENFD reduction, making the significance of these antibodies questionable.32 These findings suggest antiTS-HDS and antiFGFR3 are unlikely to be pathogenic, and it is uncertain whether presence of these antibodies is an epiphenomenon indicating immune-mediated SFN. 2021. https://doi.org/10.1136/bmj.n1786. Although its cause is not fully understood, the syndrome often follows infection with a virus or bacteria, although in rare occasions, vaccination may precede GBS. We describe the case of a 57-y-old female who presented 1 week after receiving the second dose of the Pfizer coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) vaccine with subacute onset of intense burning dysesthesias in the feet, gradually spreading to the calves and minimally into the hands, unaccompanied by .

There is no medication yet to promote nerve fiber regeneration to reduce numbness; however, numbness may improve once etiologies are controlled, especially if SFN is relatively mild. Ann Neurol. A recent reappraisal study showed a strict agreement of these 2 criteria sets for diagnosing pure SFN,9 and showed sensory symptoms alone are not reliable, whereas sensory signs are reliable, for SFN. 2021;208: 106887.

Dutta S, Kaur R, Charan J, Bhardwaj P, Ambwani SR, Babu S, Goyal JP, Haque M. Analysis of neurological adverse events reported in VigiBase from COVID-19 vaccines. We aimed to determine whether small fiber neuropathy (SFN) was associated with SARS-CoV-2 infection. Transverse myelitis has been observed after injection of mRNA and adenovirus-based vaccines, and it is noteworthy that mRNA-based vaccines can cause exacerbation or early manifestation of MS and neuromyelitis optica. Impaired vibratory sensation at toes and reduced deep tendon reflexes at ankles, however, may be detected in people with SFN later in life, as this is not uncommon in this population without neuropathy. Tseng P-T, Chen T-Y, Sun Y-S, Chen Y-W, Chen J-J. Among the 6 persons with SFN confirmed by biopsy, 3 had preexisting but controlled associated conditions, whereas the others had no neuropathy etiologies identified. Diarrhea, constipation, or incontinence related to nerve damage in the intestines or digestive tract. Lauria G, Bakkers M, Schmitz C, et al. SFN diagnosis should combine symptoms, signs, and diagnostic test findings. Skin biopsy confirmed SFN in six, all of whom showed both neuropathy symptoms and signs, and two also showed autonomic dysfunction by autonomic function testing (AFT). Associated conditions can be identified in about half of the SFN cases,3,7,21 with diabetes mellitus being the most common in the US.3,22 Immune-mediated conditions (eg, sarcoidosis and Sjgrens syndrome) are more common with NLD-SFN than LD-SFN.3 Thorough history taking can help identify or raise a suspicion for certain associated conditions (eg, metabolic syndrome, alcohol abuse, neurotoxic drug exposure, HIV and hepatitis C infections, rapid improvement of glycemic control in diabetic patients, and genetic causes). Medical insurance, however, usually approves the test after presence of SFN symptoms and absence of large fiber polyneuropathy (normal NCS) are documented. Epub 2022 Apr 16. 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]. 38.

Examination may detect dryness, coldness, and skin discoloration in the feet and distal legs (ie, red, white, and purple), as well as orthostatic tachycardia and hypotension.4, SFN often negatively impacts quality of life both physically and mentally because of neuropathic pain, numbness, and dizziness, which may affect gait and lead to falls especially later in life when falls are already more common.5,6. It plays a critical role in maintaining the function and phenotype of peripheral sensory and sympathetic neurons and in mediating pain transmission and perception during adulthood. Skin biopsy has been increasingly used for diagnosing SFN but is limited by a high cost. Vaccines based on mRNA and adenovirus have been reported to be most likely to cause headaches [26]. 26.
