When to Think Zebras, Not Horses: A Case of Delayed Care in anti-NMDA Receptor Encephalitis
Abstract
"Anti-NMDA receptor encephalitis (NMDAr) presents a diagnostic challenge for clinicians due to its varying symptom presentation such as psychosis, abnormal behavior, and seizures. Given the presentation, and it only newly recognized as a diagnosis, anti-NMDAr is difficult to distinguish from other neuropsychiatric disorders, and delaying treatment leads to increased morbidity and mortality."--Introduction
