  • Abstract
    An 11-year-old boy presented with acute dysautonomia manifesting as severe orthostatic hypotension following fever. Serial orthostatic tests with measurement of the coefficient of variation in the R–R intervals showed improvement after one course and complete recovery after two courses of intravenous high-dose immunoglobulin therapy (IVIg). Repeated courses of IVIg should be considered to treat this disorder if spontaneous remission does not occur
