O7: Functional Characterization of Human GABAA Autoantibodies in the Context of Limbic Encephalitis
Limbic encephalitis is an adaptive autoimmune disease, induced by different autoantibodies, which target extracellular neuronal epitopes, such as NMDA or GABAB receptors1,2. Recently our group found another human antibody, which binds to the α1 subunit of the GABAA receptor. Since the GABAA receptor is responsible for the majority of fast inhibitory neurotransmission, we investigated chan...
متن کاملO18: Autoimmune Encephalitis (Pathophysiology, Clinical Signs and Diagnos Tic Tests)
Autoimmune encephalitis is a difficult clinical diagnosis due to the similarities in the clini­cal, imaging and laboratory findings of many forms of autoimmune and infectious encephalitis. Autoimmune encephalitis involves several types: The first group includes the classic paraneo­plastic disorders associated with antibodies to intracellular antigens. The second group involves autoanti...
متن کاملThe role-playing autoantibodies in autoimmune thyroid diseases and their extra-thyroidal manifestations: review article
The presence of the antibodies against the main thyroid antigens, which include thyroid peroxidase (TPO) or microsomal antigen, thyroglobulin (Tg) as well as thyrotropin receptor or Thyroid Stimulating Hormone Receptor (TSH-R), is a hallmark and symbol of the autoimmune thyroid diseases (AITDs) as one of the most common autoimmune diseases (AD) around the world. The prevalence of the thyroid pe...
متن کاملO 19: Treatment and Porognosis of Autoimmune Encephalitis
AE is a serious medical condition in which the immune system attacks the brain, impairing function. With rapid diagnosis and appropriate treatment, many patients recover most or all functions. However, not all patients experience full recovery; with approximately 6% mortality and other patients who never regain significant brain and/or bodily functions. Autoimmune encephalitis can pro...
متن کاملAutoimmune Encephalitis: A Case Presentation with Recurrent Febrile Seizures and Psychiatry Problems
Background: Autoimmune encephalitis is being diagnosed more and more often in the pediatric age group. It should be suspected in children with psychiatric symptoms, encephalopathy, abnormal movements or epileptic seizures. The most frequent autoimmune encephalitis in the pediatric is anti-N-methyl-D-aspartate (anti- NMDA) receptor encephalitis. Case report: We report a four-year-old boy with e...
