We described a case of anti-NMDA-receptor encephalitis presenting as febrile catatonia in a 22-year-old patient with no somatic burden. We looked into the dynamics of the disease and treatment strategy. In the discussion, we provided analysis of the presented case, as well as issues related to research perspectives in this field.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
