Low frequency of N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor autoimmunity in tick-borne encephalitis
The development of intrathecal anti-NMDAR autoantibodies following tick-borne encephalitis is a rare event, and further studies are needed to clarify their potential relevance to cognitive outcomes in a minority of cases. Testing for anti-NMDAR antibodies in cerebrospinal fluid may be considered in patients who experience clinical deterioration following an initial recovery.
