Anti-NMDA receptor encephalitis and Facklamia languida septicaemia: initially unpronounceable but eventually treatable.
Two interesting and contrasting case reports in this month’s issue illustrate how precise microbiological and serological diagnoses can transform treatment decisions, even if some of the clinical features remain unexplained [1, 2]. In the first, the initial and final clinical diagnosis was sepsis. An unusual organism (Facklamia languida) is eventually grown from blood cultures, but its connecti...

متن کاملAnti-NMDA Receptor Encephalitis
In recent years, the discovery of antibodies to specific neuronal antigens that then go on to cause encephalitis has gone a long way to change the investigation and management of a potential encephalitic process. These have now become known under the umbrella term of the ‘autoimmune encephalitides’. In this article we look at antiN-methyl-D-aspartate receptor encephalitis, a condition most ofte...

متن کاملAnti-NMDA Receptor Encephalitis and Vaccination
Anti-N-methyl-d-aspartate (Anti-NMDA) receptor encephalitis is an acute autoimmune neurological disorder. The cause of this disease is often unknown, and previous studies revealed that it might be caused by a virus, vaccine or tumor. It occurs more often in females than in males. Several cases were reported to be related to vaccination such as the H1N1 vaccine and tetanus/diphtheria/pertussis a...
