    A very interesting pilot study looking at small fiber neuropathy in #LongCovid.
    Small fiber nerves are unmyelinated and/or thinly myelinated sensory and autonomic nerves. They are more prone to environmental damage, but can also repair themselves.

    Patients who received #IVIG showed >50% improvement.

    #IVIg for acute exacerbations of #ILD

    atsjournals.org/doi/full/10.15

    My sense is the #AEILD #ILDflare therapy is wildly site-specific, altho perhaps less so than it once was

    Do you use IVIg for acute exacerbations of ILD, and if so, which and when?
