Several cases of autoimmune encephalitis have been reported after ChAdOx1 nCoV-19 (AZD1222) vaccination. We encountered a male patient who presented with generalized tonic-clonic seizures, cognitive decline, and gait disturbance that occurred suddenly after the second dose of the ChAdOx1 nCoV-19 vaccine. Clinical presentation and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) test results were compatible with limbic encephalitis. Synaptic autoantibody tests confirmed serum and CSF GABA B receptor antibodies were present. The patient was treated with immunotherapy with intravenous immunoglobulin and rituximab. This GABA-B receptor antibody encephalitis case occurred presumably due to transient autoantibody production following vaccine administration.
几例腺病毒载体新冠疫苗(ChAdOx1 nCoV-19,阿斯利康)接种后出现自身免疫性脑炎。我们遇到一位男性患者,在接种第二剂 ChAdOx1 nCoV-19 疫苗后突然出现全身强直阵挛发作、认知功能下降和步态障碍。临床表现、磁共振成像(MRI)和脑脊液(CSF)检查结果符合边缘性脑炎。突触自身抗体检测证实血清和 CSF 中 GABA B 受体抗体阳性。患者接受了静脉注射免疫球蛋白和利妥昔单抗的免疫治疗。这种 GABA-B 受体抗体脑炎可能是由于疫苗接种后短暂的自身抗体产生。
