Encephalitis is a severe inflammatory disorder of the brain with many possible causes and a
complex differential diagnosis. Advances in autoimmune encephalitis research in the past …

Investigations in the last 10 years have revealed a new category of neurological diseases
mediated by antibodies against cell surface and synaptic proteins. There are currently 16 …

Purpose The present study hypothesised that whole-body [18F] FDG-PET/CT might provide
insight into the pathophysiology of long COVID. Methods We prospectively enrolled 13 adult …

Epilepsy is the tendency to have unprovoked epileptic seizures. Anything causing structural
or functional derangement of brain physiology may lead to seizures, and different conditions …

Objective: To report a large cohort of patients with antibodies against contactin-associated
protein-like 2 (Caspr2) and provide the clinical spectrum of this disorder. Methods: Serum …

Background Increasing evidence suggests that seizures and status epilepticus can be
immune-mediated. We aimed to describe the clinical features of a new epileptic disorder …

Over the past 10 years, the continual discovery of novel forms of encephalitis associated
with antibodies to cell‐surface or synaptic proteins has changed the paradigms for …

Autoimmune encephalitis is a relatively new category of immune-mediated disease
involving the central nervous system that demonstrates a widely variable spectrum of clinical …

Antibodies that immunoprecipitate 125I-α-dendrotoxin-labelled voltage-gated potassium
channels extracted from mammalian brain tissue have been identified in patients with …

Background Voltage-gated potassium channels are thought to be the target of antibodies
associated with limbic encephalitis. However, antibody testing using cells expressing …
