Vegetative Dysfunctions After Infections and Possibilities of Their Correction in the General Practice (Review of the Literature)

Abstract

The purpose of the review is to analyze current research on the treatment of autonomic dysfunctions (VD) after post-infections in outpatient practice. On the basis of the analysis of literature data, a review of national and foreign clinical studies on the diagnosis and treatment of VD was made. The review focuses on the differential diagnosis of functional disorders of the autonomic nervous system after transmitted infections with organic pathology, considering that the manifestations of VD after the transferred infections are polymorphic and characterized by dysfunctions of the cardiovascular, respiratory systems, fibromyalgia, poor adaptation of patients to physiological loads (clinortostatic, physical etc). In the review, there are publications that show that in the pathogenesis of VD after infections, not only impairment of the immune system, but also hypomanemia is important. A number of publications suggest that correction of deficiency of magnesium due to a magnesium-enriched diet often does not lead to an increase in magnesium in the body due to abnormal suction and/or increased excretion through the kidneys. Many studies convincingly demonstrate that the use of organic salts of magnesium (citrate, lactate, etc.) is accompanied by an increase in its content in the body and, accordingly, correction of functional disorders of the autonomic nervous system.
