One increasingly recognized autonomic nervous system (ANS) disorder is postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome or POTS. It occurs in those recovering from COVID-19, which makes it a perfect example post-infectious, immunity and inflammation (I-Cubed).
Intravenous immune globulin (IVIg) is a widely used immune modulating therapy for idiopathic and post-infectious autoimmune disorders where the immune system goes awry, leaving in its wake, tandem central, peripheral and autonomic nervous system dysfunction.
The 2019 novel coronavirus (2019‐nCoV [COVID-19]) epidemic, the third known zoonotic coronavirus disease after severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) and Middle East respiratory syndrome (MERS) is now know to be caused by coronavirus 2 (SARS‐CoV‐2). The SARS‐CoV‐2 virus probably originated in bats from which it transmitted to humans. Epidemic transmission is caused by human-to-human transmission.
Intravenous immune globulin (IVIg) is the most widely employed immune modulating agent for autoimmune disorders. It treats post-infectious disorders where the immune system goes awry, causing injury to organs of the body due to post-infectious and non-infectious autoimmunity. The nervous system is particularly vulnerable to autoimmune diseases and IVIg therapy.
