Post-infectious SARS-CoV-2 Autoimmune Encephalitis Associated with N-Type Calcium Channel Antibodies
نویسندگان
چکیده
To report the association between SARS-CoV-2 and Anti- N -Type Calcium Channel antibody positive, EEG MRI-negative encephalitis with a treatment response to plasmapheresis. Postinfectious neuropsychiatric complications are common but pathogenesis remains poorly understood. We case of autoimmune subacute onset after SARS-CoV -2infection positive cerebrospinal fluid serology for Anti-N-Type-Calcium antibodies. CSF profile showed cytoalbuminologic dissociation (CSF WBC 4, Protein 88). MRI were normal. Plasmapheresis resulted in significant improvement resolution cognitive manifestations. -type-Calcium should be considered patients who develop new symptoms infection even absence findings.

We report, to our knowledge, the only known pediatric case with encephalopathy and significantly elevated titers of N-type voltage-gated calcium channel antibody (N-type VGCC). The patient, an 8th grader, was previously healthy and presented with a one-week history of confusion, aphasia, transient fever, headaches, and dizziness. An underlying autoimmune process was suspected because of inflamm...
