Cureus. Motor strength, proprioception, and deep tendon reflexes are usually preserved, because these are functions of large fibers. 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.

Lauria G, Bakkers M, Schmitz C, et al. Organizations representing experts in cancer, organ transplantation and autoimmune diseases support COVID-19 vaccination for their patients. Front Immunol. COVID-19 vaccination also affects the cranial and peripheral nerves and causes side effects such as Bell's palsy (facial nerve palsy7 cranial nerve), abducens nerve palsy (lateral rectus ocular muscle nerve palsy6 cranial nerve), impaired vision, olfactory, hearing, GuillainBarre syndrome (GBS), small fiber neuropathy, ParsonageTurner syndrome, and also herpes zoster. Small fiber neuropathy (SFN) is common and can be associated with many medical conditions, including reports of an association with COVID-19. 26. 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].

Pathologic antibodies to platelet factor 4 after ChAdOx1 nCoV-19 vaccination. There are significant limitations to QST,17 including that it is not widely available and cannot differentiate whether impaired response to sensory stimuli is caused by a peripheral nerve disease or a central nervous system disorder, because a proper response requires an intact sensory pathway. Vaccines have always been known to be the most effective and safest drugs; however, different side effects have been identified for them, for example, the link between influenza, hepatitis, and HPV vaccines with demyelinating syndromes has been discovered, and the injection of influenza vaccine is a reason for the incidence of narcolepsy in young people [6]. Neurotoxic drugs more likely to cause painful SFN include antibiotics (eg, metronidazole, nitrofurantoin, fluoroquinolone, and linezolid), chemotherapeutic agents (eg, bortezomib, thalidomide, and vincristine), and tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-inhibitors. Transverse myelitis is an inflammation of a part of the spinal cord that usually occurs after infection and is associated with impaired sensory, motor, and autonomic function (bladder and intestines) in areas below the area of inflammation in the spinal cord.

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.

FOIA 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.
