Anti-N-Methyl-D-Aspartate-receptor encephalitis is the most common antibody-mediated autoimmune encephalopathy. A HIV-infected African boy presented with subacute psychosis as manifestation of anti-N-Methyl-D-Aspartate-receptor encephalitis. Intravenous immunoglobulin and corticosteroids induced complete remission. Although this is the first pediatric case described, 5 adult cases have been reported. The role of HIV in the etiology of this autoimmune condition requires further exploration.
抗 N-甲基-D-天冬氨酸受体脑炎是最常见的抗体介导的自身免疫性脑炎。一名感染 HIV 的非洲男孩表现为亚急性精神病,这是抗 N-甲基-D-天冬氨酸受体脑炎的表现。静脉注射免疫球蛋白和皮质类固醇诱导完全缓解。尽管这是首例儿科病例描述,但已有 5 例成人病例报告。HIV 在这种自身免疫性疾病病因中的作用需要进一步探索。
