From the Consorci Institut D'Investigacions Biomediques August Pi i Sunyer (H.A., R.R.G., E.M.-H., A.S., F.G., J.D.); Neurology Service, Hospital Clínic de Barcelona (R.R.G., L.N., E.M.-H., A.S., J.D.); University of Barcelona (A.S., J.D.); Hospital Universitario Central de Asturias (B.R.), Oviedo; Centro de Investigación Biomédica en Red de Enfermedades Raras (CIBERER), Madrid; Catalan Institution for Research and Advanced Studies (J.D.) Barcelona, Spain; and Department of Neurology, University of Pennsylvania (J.D.), Philadelphia, PA.

Objective: To determine whether the frequency of paraneoplastic or autoimmune encephalitis antibodies examined in a referral center changed during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Methods: The number of patients who tested positive for neuronal or glial (neural) antibodies during pre-COVID-19 (2017-2019) and COVID-19 (2020-2021) periods was compared. The techniques used for antibody testing did not change during these periods and included a comprehensive evaluation of cell-surface and intracellular neural antibodies.
