Herbal Remedies for SAVI – String-Associated Vasculopathy Infancy Dependent

ABSTRACT

It is a rare autoinflammatory disease. SAVI causes severe lung disease and interstitial lung disease. It occurs due to mutations in the STING1 gene which gives the instruction for making STING (stimulator of interferon genes) protein. It involves the abnormal inflammation in the body that is in the skin, lungs, and blood vessels. Inflammation normally occurs when the white blood cells of our body reach the site of injury to fight against bacteria and help in tissue repair. Excessive inflammation damages the tissues and cells of our body. Inflammation occurs due to autoinflammatory disease.

INTRODUCTION

SAVI is an inflammation of the body due to a mutation in the STING1 gene in the body. It starts from the first few months of life. The signs and symptoms are mostly of blood vessels and damage to tissue. As an infant suffers from SAVI the lesions occur on the face, nose, and ears. These lesions start in the form of lesions and turn into ulcers and lastly tissue damage. The skin problems mostly worsen in cold weather. Due to abnormal blood vessels in the skin, the skin turns into purplish discoloration. People affected with SAVI also experience symptoms of Raynaud phenomenon as fingers and toes turn white or blue in colour due to exposure to cold temperatures and any type of stress.

AYURVEDA ASPECT FOR STRING-ASSOCIATED VASCULOPATHY INFANCY DEPENDANT

  • As  Acharya Charak explained in Sharira sthana च.शा.०३ chapter खुडाक गर्भावकृान्ति शारीर (Khuddika Garbhavkranti Sharira ) explained बीज दुष्टि (defect in ovum and sperm).

In च.शा.०४।०४ the 7 भाव (qualities) are described by Acharya Charak that is  मातृज भाव (maternal factor), पितृज भाव (paternal factor), आत्मज भाव (soul),   सात्मयज भाव (wholesomeness), रसज भाव (nutritional factor), and सत्वज भाव (psych/mind). The disorder is found before the birth so considered in  सहज रोग.

Sting Associated Vasculopathy Infancy Dependent Treatment in Ayurveda

Abstract

Sting-associated vasculopathy is an uncommon disorder that causes aberrant inflammation and skin and interstitial lung disease lesions. It was originally found in 2014. Because of the gene mutation that results in it, it is a hereditary condition. High death rates are associated with its characteristic neonatal onset. Now, we discuss sting-associated vasculopathy in detail. The affected person experiences the Raynaud phenomenon, in which the affected area turns red with exposure to cold and stress and changes color from white to blue. It might also be required for amputation.

Sting Associated Vasculopathy, Infancy Dependent

Introduction

The hereditary disorder known as “sting-associated vasculopathy” causes aberrant inflammation throughout the body, with the skin, blood vessels, and lungs experiencing the most of the effects. It is an auto-inflammatory illness and a rare condition. It begins during infancy. Vasculopathy and interstitial lung disease are its primary characteristics.

Causes of SAVI

Genetic changes are the root cause of sting-associated vasculopathy. A mutation in the STING1 gene results in an overproduction of the inflammatory proteins that harm tissue and increase inflammation. This gene is important for producing the STING protein, which produces cytokines that cause inflammation.

Symptoms Of SAVI

  • Unhealing wound
  • Minimal fever
  • Joint rigidity
  • Muscle soreness
  • Dyspnea
  • Respiratory lesions
  • Enlarged lymph node
  • Failing to flourish
  • Coughing
  • Lungs with interstitial disease
  • Hypermobility
  • Skin blemishes can be found on the cheeks, nose, ears, fingers, and soles of the feet.
  • A fibrotic lung

Diagnosis Of SAVI

  • Chest X-rays
  • Magnetic resonance imaging
  • Blood culture
  • Lung biopsy
  • CT scan
  • Genetic testing

Treatment

This illness has no specific treatment. Management can only be supportive.

  • Corticosteroids
  • Biological agents
  • Immunosuppressant

Ayurvedic Aspect of Sting Associated Vasculopathy

In Ayurveda, we can correlate the sting-associated vasculopathy with onset in infancy with Bija dushti (Abnormal ovum and sperm).

According to Acharya Charaka: (च. शा. ३/१७)

This theory holds true for each and every srota (channel). Any Beeja Bhaga gene whose function is compromised by the doshas (Vata, Pitta, and Kapha) manifests as a sickness or disease. It falls under the heading of a hereditary disease called Sahaja or Kulaj roga. Genes, or bija bhaga avayava, are the fundamental building blocks of all living things. Genes contain the instructions needed to create, maintain, and pass genetic features to progeny in an organism. If the male and female are both bija damaged totally, neither can generate new offspring, but if just one is contaminated, the offspring will be defective. The bija bhaga avayava is where abnormal doshas (Vata, Pitta, and Kapha) enter, causing disease to develop there with symptoms like dyspnea, growth retardation, skin lesions, joint stiffness, and pulmonary diseases.

Treatment

Genetic or hereditary illnesses cannot be cured. There is no known cure for this illness. Only supportive care can be provided to control symptoms and halt the spread of the disease. The following list of herbal treatments for SAVI is provided by Planet Ayurveda as supportive management.
