REVIEW
Pediatric Autoimmune Encephalitis and Its Relationship With Infection.
Pediatric Neurology 2021 July
Autoimmune encephalitis (AE) is an increasingly recognized inflammatory disorder of the central nervous system and is most often characterized by antibodies against intracellular and neuronal surface antigens. AE is a devastating disease that may result in developmental delay or regression in children. However, the pathogenesis of AE is not clear, and immune system disorders after infection likely play an important role in AE. Many studies have reported that patients with herpes simplex virus encephalitis develop anti-N-methyl-d-aspartate receptor encephalitis after antiviral treatment. It is critical to recognize pediatric AE early and to distinguish it from infectious forms because AE is treatable and responsive to immunotherapies. In this review, we discuss the clinical features of pediatric AE and focus on the relationship between AE and postinfection status. In addition, we review the probable mechanisms underlying infection-triggered AE, which include molecular mimicry, bystander activation, epitope spreading, immune system disorder, and genetic susceptibility.
