Abstract

Post-COVID-19 (PC) and post-COVID-19 vaccination (PCV) syndromes are considered emergent multidisciplinary disorders. PC/PCV small fiber neuropathy (SFN) was rarely described and its association with undifferentiated arthritis (UA) was never defined. We aimed to evaluate PC/PCV-UA associated with the recent onset of severe lower limb paresthesia, compare SFN positive (+) to negative (-) patients, and evaluate changes in biomarkers in SFN+ during treatments. Nineteen PC/PCV-UA-patients with possible SFN underwent skin biopsy at the Usl Tuscany Center (Florence) early arthritis outpatient clinic from September 2021 to March 2024. Eight selected SFN+ were compared to ten SFN- patients. In SFN+ patients, baseline joint ultrasound (US), electromyography (EMG), optical coherence tomography (OCT), and skin biopsy were repeated at six months. Moreover, SFN+ patients were clinically assessed by a 0-10 numeric rating scale for neurological symptoms and DAS28/ESR up to 12 months follow-up. SFN+ patients showed a lower intraepidermal nerve fiber density at histopathological examination of skin biopsies and a higher frequency of OCT and EMG abnormalities in comparison to SFN- patients. In SFN+ patients, US and DAS28/ESR significantly improved, while intraepidermal nerve fiber density did not significantly change at the six-month follow-up. Fatigue, motor impairment, burning pain, brain fog, and sensitivity disorders decreased at long-term follow-up (12 months).

摘要

新冠后(PC)和新冠疫苗接种后(PCV)综合征被认为是新出现的多学科疾病。PC/PCV小纤维神经病变(SFN)很少被描述,其与未分化关节炎(UA)的关联也从未被明确。我们旨在评估与近期严重下肢感觉异常发作相关的PC/PCV-UA,比较SFN阳性(+)和阴性(-)患者,并评估SFN+患者在治疗期间生物标志物的变化。2021年9月至2024年3月,19例可能患有SFN的PC/PCV-UA患者在托斯卡纳大区卫生局中心(佛罗伦萨)早期关节炎门诊接受了皮肤活检。将8例选定的SFN+患者与10例SFN-患者进行比较。对于SFN+患者,在6个月时重复进行基线关节超声(US)、肌电图(EMG)、光学相干断层扫描(OCT)和皮肤活检。此外,对SFN+患者进行临床评估,采用0至10数字评分量表评估神经症状,并在长达12个月的随访中评估疾病活动评分28/红细胞沉降率(DAS28/ESR)。与SFN-患者相比,SFN+患者在皮肤活检的组织病理学检查中显示表皮内神经纤维密度较低,OCT和EMG异常的频率较高。在SFN+患者中,US和DAS28/ESR在6个月随访时显著改善,而表皮内神经纤维密度没有显著变化。在长期随访(12个月)中,疲劳、运动障碍、灼痛、脑雾和感觉障碍有所减轻。
