Immunoadsorption therapy in autoimmune encephalitides
OBJECTIVE It was hypothesized that in encephalitides with autoantibodies directed to CNS surface antigens an antibody-removing intervention might speed up recovery. METHODS The outcome of autoimmune encephalitis in 19 patients with antibodies against surface antigens (leucine-rich, glioma inactivated 1 [LGI1], n = 3; contactin-associated protein-2 [CASPR2], n = 4; NMDA receptor [NMDAR], n = 7...
متن کاملEmergence and Control of Zoonotic Viral Encephalitides
The viral encephalitides of Eastern, Western, and Venezuelan equine encephalitis viruses have been of public health concern for years. Over the last decade, several outbreaks caused by emerging zoonotic viral encephalitides, such as West Nile virus in North America and Nipah virus in Malaysia and Singapore in 1999, resulted in serious illnesses and deaths in persons, domesticated food animals, ...
متن کاملVaccines and animal models for arboviral encephalitides.
Arthropod-borne viruses ("arboviruses") cause significant human illness ranging from mild, asymptomatic infection to fatal encephalitis or hemorrhagic fever. The most significant arboviruses causing human illness belong to genera in three viral families, Togaviridae, Flaviviridae, and Bunyaviridae. These viruses represent a significant public health threat to many parts of the world, and, as ev...
متن کاملImmunopathology of autoantibody-associated encephalitides: clues for pathogenesis.
Classical paraneoplastic encephalitis syndromes with 'onconeural' antibodies directed to intracellular antigens, and the recently described paraneoplastic or non-paraneoplastic encephalitides and antibodies against both neural surface antigens (voltage-gated potassium channel-complexes, N-methyl-d-aspartate receptors) and intracellular antigens (glutamic acid decarboxylase-65), constitute an in...
متن کاملFatal Neurological Respiratory Insufficiency Is Common Among Viral Encephalitides
BACKGROUND Neurological respiratory insufficiency strongly correlates with mortality among rodents infected with West Nile virus (WNV), which suggests that this is a primary mechanism of death in rodents and possibly fatal West Nile neurological disease in human patients. METHODS To explore the possibility that neurological respiratory insufficiency is a broad mechanism of death in cases of v...
