DOI: 10.1002/acn3.51540
Abstract: OBJECTIVE Although intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG) is the first-line immunotherapy in autoimmune encephalitis, all supporting evidence comes from retrospective case series. Here, we performed a prospective clinical trial of IVIG for functional recovery in autoimmune encephalitis.… read more here.

Hyperventilation‐induced focal seizures in adults: think autoimmune encephalitis
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2022 at "Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology"
DOI: 10.1002/acn3.51566
Abstract: Case reports have described rare patients with autoimmune encephalitis in whom focal seizures could be reliably provoked by hyperventilation. With the hypothesis that this phenomenon may have diagnostic significance, all cases of hyperventilation‐induced focal seizures… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s00262-021-03053-9
Abstract: Among diverse neurological immune-related adverse events (irAEs), autoimmune encephalitis, aseptic meningitis, Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS), myasthenia gravis (MG), and myositis are particularly important. The clinical presentation may be different from that of patients with conditions unrelated… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s00415-018-9105-3
Abstract: BackgroundSince the detection of autoantibodies against neuronal surface antigens, autoimmune encephalitis (AE) has been more frequently diagnosed, especially in patients with symptoms typical of limbic encephalitis, such as seizures, short-term memory deficits, or psychosis. However,… read more here.
