We describe a case of a 40-year-old South Asian woman who presented with symptoms suggestive of postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome (POTS) following a diphtheria toxoid and tetanus toxoid (dTdap) booster vaccination administered one week prior. The patient's POTS responded favorably to treatment with low-dose fludrocortisone and ivabradine. Clinicians should maintain a high index of suspicion for POTS as a possible vaccine adverse event (VAE) post-dTdap booster inoculation and be aware of appropriate management strategies.
我们描述了一例40岁的南亚女性病例,该患者在一周前接种白喉类毒素和破伤风类毒素(dTdap)加强疫苗后,出现了提示体位性直立性心动过速综合征(POTS)的症状。患者的POTS对小剂量氟氢可的松和伊伐布雷定治疗反应良好。临床医生应高度怀疑POTS是dTdap加强接种后可能出现的疫苗不良事件(VAE),并了解适当的管理策略。
