Small Fiber Neuropathy Triggered by COVID-19 Vaccination: Association with FGFR3 Autoantibodies and Improvement during Intravenous Immunoglobulin Treatment.
Multiple case series have demonstrated the emergence of small fiber neuropathy following acute coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) infections. Further, one large case supports that the COVID-19 vaccine has been reported to result in small fiber neuropathy. We report a case of a patient with confirmed small fiber neuropathy post-COVID-19 vaccination with positive FGFR3 antibodies. The effect of intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG) has been recently explored for treatment of presumed autoimmune small fiber neuropathy. To our knowledge, this is the first published case report of COVID vaccination-induced FGFR3-associated small fiber neuropathy improving in the context of IVIG administration as demonstrated by normalization of small fiber density measured by skin biopsy accompanied by marked improvement in the patient's symptoms.
期刊介绍:
This new peer-reviewed online-only journal publishes original case reports covering the entire spectrum of neurology. Clinicians and researchers are given a tool to disseminate their personal experience to a wider public as well as to review interesting cases encountered by colleagues all over the world. To complement the contributions supplementary material is welcomed. The reports are searchable according to the key words supplied by the authors; it will thus be possible to search across the entire growing collection of case reports with universally used terms, further facilitating the retrieval of specific information. Following the open access principle, the entire contents can be retrieved at no charge, guaranteeing easy access to this valuable source of anecdotal information at all times.
