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...
