Autoimmune encephalitis associated with anti-LGI1 antibody: a potential cause of neuropsychiatric systemic lupus erythematosus
Screening for anti-LGI1 antibodies in patients with neuropsychiatric systemic lupus erythematosus (NPSLE) is crucial when limbic encephalitis presents, as it enables timely and effective treatment, potentially improving patients' outcomes. Additional basic and clinical research is required to clarify the pathogenic role of these antibodies in NPSLE.
