Coexistence of anti-NMDAR and anti-IgLON5 antibodies in an autoimmune encephalitis patient: The first case report

The coexistence of autoimmune encephalitis (AE) with multiple neural auto-antibodies is of great clinical significance because overlying antibodies may cause superposition or variation of clinical syndrome, which increases the difficulty of diagnosis and treatment of the disease. To the best of our knowledge, the coexistence of anti-N-methyl d-aspartate Receptor (NMDAR) and anti-IgLON5 antibodies in AE has not been published previously.
