Tick-borne encephalitis as a trigger for anti-N-Methyl-d-aspartate receptor encephalitis
Tick Borne Encephalitis (TBE) is endemic to an increasing number of countries and is a common cause of meningoencephalitis in Europe and Asia making any potential complications of the disease increasingly relevant to clinicians.We present, what is to our knowledge, the second reported case of N-meth...

description | Tick Borne Encephalitis (TBE) is endemic to an increasing number of countries and is a common cause of meningoencephalitis in Europe and Asia making any potential complications of the disease increasingly relevant to clinicians.We present, what is to our knowledge, the second reported case of N-methyl-d-aspartate receptor (NMDAR) encephalitis following Tick Borne Encephalitis (TBE) in a 47-year-old Lithuanian man. The case provides further evidence of TBE being a possible trigger of NMDAR encephalitis and highlights the importance of being aware of symptoms of autoimmune encephalitis in patients with infectious encephalitis. |
