  • Title: Anti-N-methyl D-aspartate receptor encephalitis mimics viral encephalitis.
    Author: Bseikri MR, Barton JR, Kulhanjian JA, Dalmau J, Cohen RA, Glaser CA, Roy-Burman A.
    Journal: Pediatr Infect Dis J; 2012 Feb; 31(2):202-4. PubMed ID: 22094630.
    Abstract:
    We describe the clinical courses of 3 children with a psychochoreiform encephalitis associated with anti-N-methyl D-aspartate receptor autoantibodies. These cases, including the most severely medically complicated survivor to date, illustrate the challenges of diagnosis, supportive care, and immune-modulating therapy. Clinical and laboratory features are similar to those of viral encephalitis, and the condition is often reversible with appropriate diagnosis and treatment.
