Post-COVID Dysautonomia: A Narrative Review of Pathophysiology, Clinical Manifestations, and Emerging Management Strategies

Covid and Nerves
Thread by @HarrySpoelstra on Thread Reader App
“Post-COVID dysautonomia has emerged as a prominent and debilitating manifestation of Long COVID, characterized by a wide spectrum of autonomic dysfunctions including postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome (POTS), orthostatic hypotension, and gastrointestinal dysmotility.’”
SARS-CoV-2 and the nervous system: current perspectives
“In this review, we highlight the literature focusing on clinical observations that suggest associations between SARS-CoV-2 infection and the nervous system. We also discuss the different mechanisms of neural injury that lead to various complications. Knowledge about the possible neurological manifestations of COVID-19 is vital for physicians to recognize, treat, and manage complications of the nervous system.”

Studies have found SARS-CoV-2 RNA and inflammatory cell infiltration in the vagus nerves of COVID-19 patients.
These findings imply that vagus nerve inflammation plays a role in the autonomic dysfunction seen in COVID-19 patients.
Vagus nerve inflammation contributes to dysautonomia in COVID-19
SARS-CoV-2 can induce vagus nerve inflammation followed by autonomic dysfunction.
SARS-CoV-2 RNA and inflammatory cell infiltration were found in the vagus nerves of COVID-19 patients, suggesting a link to autonomic dysfunction.
