Small fiber neuropathy with normal intra-epidermal nerve fiber density but reduced sweat gland density after third BNT162b2 shot.
Small fiber neuropathy (SFN) has not been reported after the third dose of BNT162b2 in a previously healthy vaccinee. A 44-year-old previously healthy female developed pain and sensory disturbances in varying locations after the third BNT162b2 dose. Additionally, she developed recurrent tinnitus, headaches, arthralgia, neck stiffness, and motor dysfunction. A skin biopsy five months after symptom onset revealed normal intra-epidermal nerve fiber density (IENFD) but reduced sweat gland nerve fiber density. She is intended for a first series of intravenous immunoglobulins. SARS-CoV-2 vaccinations may be complicated by SFN; the diagnosis SARS-CoV-2 vaccination SFN may be delayed; IENFD may be normal, but sweat gland nerve fiber density may document SFN; and full recovery after SFN cannot always be achieved quickly.
