Multiple co-infections can predispose a patient to autoimmune encephalitis. Out of thirty cases of N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor (NMDAR) encephalitis seen at a single tertiary referral center, only two cases of co-infection with NMDAR encephalitis were identified. One of these cases was highly interesting due to the presence of more than one co-infections along with the presence of cortical dysfunction, seizures, and orofacial dyskinesias at the onset in a male in the absence of tumors, which was refractory to initial treatment.
多重合并感染可使患者易患自身免疫性脑炎。在一家三级转诊中心所见的30例N-甲基-D-天冬氨酸受体(NMDAR)脑炎病例中,仅发现2例合并NMDAR脑炎感染。其中1例非常有趣,因为该男性患者起病时存在不止一种合并感染,同时伴有皮质功能障碍、癫痫发作和口面部运动障碍,且无肿瘤,初始治疗无效。
