Autoimmune encephalitis with antibodies against Leucinie-rich Glioma Inactivated 1 and γ-aminobutyric acid-beta-receptor: case report and literature review
A 60-year-old man presented with slow response and psychosis. Apart from hyponatremia, serum test also showed positive anti-Leucinie-rich Glioma Inactivated 1 (anti-LGI1) and anti-γ-aminobutyric acid-beta-receptor (anti-GABABR), and electroencephalogram exhibited moderate diffusion abnormality. The patient responded well to steroid treatment. Here we report the first autoimmune encephalitis(AE) characterized by positive anti-LGI1 and anti-GABABR, as well as summarizing AE with multiple auto-antibodies reported so far, hopefully to provide experience for clinical practice.
