This issue focuses on anti-NMDAr encephalitis. There has been a recent explosion of studies of serum and CSF biomarkers in NMDAR encephalitis that claim to predict outcome.  If you have a diagnosis of anti-NMDAr encephalitis, we recommend you provide your neurologist with these studies in the event they have not seen them. Also included is a case study that identifies another infection that may trigger anti-NMDAr.

New case study just out moves us another step ahead in identifying another infection that may trigger anti-NMDAr. This is the exact type of research we watch and hope for as researchers hunt down answers that we hope will one day lead to prevention.
