Neurology Department, Central Hospital of Dalian University of Technology, Dalian City, 116000, China.
Background: Autoimmune encephalitis associated with anti-GluK2 antibodies is a recently identified condition, typically characterized by cerebellar ataxia. This case report presents a unique clinical manifestation involving involuntary movements and emotional dysregulation, expanding the known phenotype spectrum.
Case Presentation: A 60-year-old woman presented with a two-year history of involuntary movements predominantly affecting her lower limbs and facial muscles, occasionally accompanied by hysterical shouting.
Clinical features and factors associated with outcomes of antibody-negative autoimmune encephalitis in patients requiring intensive care.
Crit Care
January 2025
Department of Neuro-Intensive Care Unit, The First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University, Zhengzhou, Henan, China.
Background And Objectives: Antibody-negative autoimmune encephalitis (AE) is a form of encephalitis characterized by the absence of detectable autoimmune antibodies, despite immunological evidence. However, data on management of patients with antibody-negative AE in the intensive care unit (ICU) are limited. This study aimed to explore the characteristics and subtypes of antibody-negative AE, assess the effects of immunotherapy, and identify factors independently associated with poor functional outcomes in patients requiring intensive care.

Autoimmune thyroid disease (AITD) is the leading cause of thyroid dysfunction globally, characterized primarily by two distinct clinical manifestations: Hashimoto's thyroiditis (HT) and Graves' disease (GD). The prevalence of AITD is approximately twice as high in women compared to men, with a particularly pronounced risk during the reproductive years. Pregnancy exerts profound effects on thyroid physiology and immune regulation due to hormonal fluctuations and immune adaptations aimed at fostering maternal-fetal tolerance, potentially triggering or exacerbating AITD.
