Many patients present with extremely serious problems such as headache, photophobia, acoustic hyperresponsiveness, severe pain, menstrual disorders, various sleep disorders, and POTS after human papillomavirus vaccination (HPV vaccine). In addition, patients exhibit various neurological symptoms such as movement disorders, walking disturbance, involuntary movement, abnormal sensation, memory disturbance, and so on. However, these symptoms are variable and have been considered to be symptoms of hysteria (somatoform disorder, somatic symptoms). Immunosuppressive treatments were not administered because many cases were considered to be of neurological origin. In such cases, the disease condition is objectively evaluated to diagnose and treat patients with neurological symptoms. In conclusion, the wide–ranging symptoms of the central nervous system include those caused by disseminated autoimmune encephalitis and also symptoms of the peripheral small fibers. Thus, according to the obtained findings, the neurological symptoms caused by HPV vaccination are related to immunological diseases, and not psychogenic diseases. In addition, the cause of misdiagnosis has also been described.
