Autoimmune Neurologic Disorders
Autoimmune disorders affect 5-10% of the general population, [1] and often involve central and peripheral nervous system. In this special issue of Current Neuropharmacology experts discuss pathophysiology, clinical features and treatment of various neurologic autoimmune disorders. In the last decade we have witnessed remarkable scientific advances which have greatly improved our understanding o...
متن کاملNeurologic Disorders and Hepatitis E, France, 2010

متن کاملImmunoadsorption 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 کاملParaneoplastic neurologic disorders: windows into neuronal function and tumor immunity.
Patients with PNDs typically exhibit rapidonset, severe, and focal neurologic disease on initial examination. Magnetic resonance imaging findings are usually normal, and medical history and physical examinations yield no obvious cause for the disorders. An occult malignancy is usually discovered as patients are followed up or when a PND diagnosis is suspected. It is believed that such malignanc...
متن کاملParaneoplastic Neurologic Disease
The term paraneoplastic neurologic disease (PND) encompasses several degenerative central or peripheral nervous system disorders that result from indirect effects of systemic cancer on elements of the nervous system. By definition, the dysfunction does not result from invasion or metastasis by tumor. The concept of a remote or indirect effect of cancer on the nervous system arose in the latter ...
