The Gut Feeling Behind Autoimmune Encephalitis
Taken together, our results suggest that a compositional shift in the gut microbiome of LGI1-Ab-E associates with a neuroinflammatory state, possibly through the reduction of SCFA production. Our study highlights the potential of the gut microbiome to explain some of the complex condition and unravel etiological questions. Validation studies with greater sample sizes are recommended.
