Anti-N-methyl D-Aspartate Receptor Encephalitis Mimics Viral Encephalitis

Pediatric Infectious Disease Journal, 2012
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.
