“…In contrast, in patient 9, who showed delayed exacerbation, anti-NMDAR antibodies were detected before antifungal treatment. The coexistence of cryptococcal meningitis and anti-NMDAR antibody encephalitis has been reported previously (18)(19)(20); however, the pathogenesis of autoim-mune encephalitis remains unclear. Taken together, these reports suggest that autoantibodies may be one mechanism underlying the delayed exacerbation of cryptococcal meningitis.…”

We retrospectively reviewed the medical histories, examination results, treatments, and prognoses of nine patients with cryptococcal meningitis who were diagnosed and treated at Hokkaido University Hospital and its affiliated hospitals over the past 10 years. Cryptococcal meningitis can develop even in immunocompetent hosts, and its prognosis is poor owing to diagnostic difficulties and delayed treatment. Although liposomal amphotericin B and oral 5-fluorocytosine are standard therapies, voriconazole or intraventricular administration of amphotericin B may also be considered treatment options for refractory patients. Some patients develop delayed exacerbations owing to immunological mechanisms that require steroid therapy.

“…Expanding the disease spectrum can guide clinical practitioners enhance diagnostic speed and accuracy and shed light on potential causes of anti-NMDA receptor encephalitis prompting researchers to analyze and study in this direction. Therefore expanding the disease spectrum through individual or multiple specific etiology case reports is crucial ( 43 ). Case reports are an excellent way to summarize and document specific cases and help researchers identify new clinical features of the disease.…”

BackgroundAutoimmune diseases have always been one of the difficult diseases of clinical concern. Because of the diversity and complexity of its causative factors, unclear occurrence and development process and difficult treatment, it has become a key disease for researchers to study. And the disease explored in this paper, anti-NMDA encephalitis, belongs to a common type of autoimmune encephalitis. However, the quality of articles and research hotspots in this field are not yet known. Therefore, in this field, we completed a bibliometric and visualization analysis from 2005 to 2023 in order to understand the research hotspots and directions of development in this field.Materials and methodsWe searched the SCI-expanded databases using Web of Science’s core databases on January 22, 2024 and used tools such as VOS viewer, Cite Space, and R software to visualize and analyze the authors, countries, journals, institutions, and keywords of the articles.ResultsA total of 1,161 literatures were retrieved and analyzed in this study. China was the country with the most total publications, and USA and Spain were the most influential countries in the field of anti-NMDA encephalitis. University of Pennsylvania from USA was the institution with the highest number of publications. While Dalmau Josep is the most prolific, influential and contributing author who published one of the most cited articles in Lancet Neurology, which laid the foundation for anti-NMDA encephalitis research, the top three appearances of keyword analysis were: “antibodies”, “diagnosis”, and “autoimmune encephalitis.”ConclusionBibliometric analysis shows that the number of studies on anti-NMDA encephalitis is generally increasing year by year, and it is a hot disease pursued by researchers. USA and Spain are leading in the field of anti-NMDA encephalitis, while China should continue to improve the quality of its own research. The suspected causes of anti-NMDA encephalitis other than ovarian teratoma and herpes simplex, the specific clinical manifestations that are not masked by psychiatric symptoms, the diagnostic modalities that are faster and more accurate than antibody tests, and the improvement of treatment modalities by evaluating prognosis of various types of patients are the hotspots for future research.
