Symptomatic treatments of N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor encephalitis

Soon-Tae Lee

encephalitis. 2021;1(1):4-6.

N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor encephalitis (NMDAR encephalitis) needs both precise immunotherapy and symptomatic treatments. Medical and procedural interventions are available for seizure, psychosis, dyskinesia, hypersalivation, and autonomic dysfunction. This perspective shares the experience for the symptomatic care of NMDAR encephalitis.

Initial cerebrospinal fluid-restricted oligoclonal bands associate with anti-N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor encephalitis severity: a pilot study

Sang Bin Hong, Yong-Won Shin, Jangsup Moon, et al.

encephalitis. 2021;1(1):7-13.

CSF oligoclonal bands in anti-NMDA-receptor encephalitis associate with a deteriorating clinical course leading to prolonged hospital stays and a poorer outcome at 1 year, suggesting that initial CSF oligoclonal band testing may aid in identifying patients with unfavorable disease course.

Anti-N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor encephalitis 8 years after serial herpes simplex virus type 1 and human herpesvirus type 7 encephalitis

Yoonhyuk Jang, Jeong-Min Kim, Jangsup Moon, et al.

encephalitis. 2021;1(1):25-29.

Jang et al. report a rare case of a 32-year-old man with N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor (NMDAR)-encephalitis detected after eight years by serial HSV-1 and HHV-7 encephalitis. This report aids our knowledge about the clinical manifestation and treatment of rare HHV-7 encephalitis and suggests that NMDAR-encephalitis should be vigilantly monitored in patients with a history of herpes virus encephalitis.
