Excerpt

Anti-NMDA receptor encephalitis and variant disorders are serious, yet treatable diseases in which antibodies formed in response to a number of possible stimuli (i.e., tumor, infection, etc.) cross-react with synaptic proteins, most commonly the N-methyl-d-aspartate receptor (NMDAR) [1]. We present a case of anti-NMDA-R encephalitis associated with positive measles virus serology. …
