COVID-19 disease is caused by a novel coronavirus SARS-CoV-2 and typically causes respiratory symptoms. However, with increasing cases infection has been shown to be associated dysregulated persistent inflammatory reactions production of some antibodies hence multi organ involvement seen.

A 20-year-old woman developed anti–NMDA receptor (NMDAR) encephalitis with psychosis, dysphagia, hemiparesis, generalized dystonia, cortical blindness, and status epilepticus. IgG NMDAR antibodies were present in serum and CSF (figure). She was successfully treated with IV immunoglobulin (IVIg), plasmapheresis, and carbamazepine. She relapsed 1.5 years later and was treated regularly with IVIg ...

Objective Our objective was to characterize the patients with anti-NMDAR encephalitis and identify most common presenting symptoms etiologies. Background Anti N-methyl-d-aspartate receptor (NMDAR) is a specific autoimmune CNS disorder that decouples electrochemical synapses from their neuronal network, causing seizures, neuropsychiatric symptoms, movement problems, autonomic dysfunction. Althou...
