Abstract Autoimmune encephalitis is a group of disorders characterized by symptoms of dysfunction of the limbic and extra‐limbic systems that occur in association with antibodies against intracellular antigens, synapses, or proteins located on the surface of nerve cells. Anti‐NMDA (N‐methyl‐D‐aspartate) receptor encephalitis was first described in 2007

Complement-Mediated Opsonic Activity in Normal and Infected Human Cerebrospinal Fluid: Early Response During Bacterial Meningitis [PDF]
A local defense mechanism in bacterial meningitis was evaluated in humans by measuring complement-mediated opsonic activity (CMOA) in normal and infected cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) with a complement-dependent phagocytic bactericidal assay. CMOA was absent

Sterile Nasal Septal Abscess in Ulcerative Colitis With Crypt Abscess‐Like Neutrophilic Infiltration
We report a rare case of sterile nasal septal abscess in a patient with ulcerative colitis. Histopathological analysis revealed crypt abscess‐like neutrophilic infiltration in the nasal mucosal glands, resembling a typical feature of ulcerative colitis.

Orbital Complications of Acute Rhinosinusitis in Adulthood: Predictors of Outcome and Management
In a multicenter cohort of 213 adults with orbital complications of acute rhinosinusitis, 68% required surgery and the modified Chandler classification was the strongest predictor of treatment modality. While abscess‐related and type II complications frequently necessitated surgical management, final ophthalmologic outcomes were uniformly favorable ...
