ABSTRACT
Symptoms of autonomic dysfunction, particularly those of orthostatic intolerance, continue to represent a major component of the currently recognized post-acute sequelae of SARS-CoV-2 infections. Different pathophysiologic mechanisms can be involved in the development of orthostatic intolerance including hypovolemia due to gastrointestinal dysfunction, fatigue-associated deconditioning, and hyperadrenergic state due to pandemic-related anxiety. Additionally, there has been a well-established association of a common primary autonomic disorder like postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome, a subtype of orthostatic intolerance, with antecedent viral infections. Here we report a case of neuropathic type postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome as a form of autonomic neuropathy that developed following COVID-19 infection.
