Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to investigate the prevalence of autoimmune encephalitis and coexisting viral infections in children with acute encephalitic syndrome (AES).
- It found that out of 867 children examined, 4.2% were diagnosed with autoimmune encephalitis, primarily associated with anti-NMDAR antibodies, while 47.1% had evidence of viral infections, particularly HSV.
- The researchers concluded that autoimmune encephalitis may be more common than previously reported and emphasized the importance of early diagnosis and treatment for better outcomes in affected children.
