Patient's question:
I don't know why, but recently I've been experiencing dizziness and a decline in memory. My friends said that based on my symptoms, I might have anti-NMDA encephalitis. Is anti-NMDA receptor encephalitis very rare?Doctor's answer:
One or more of the six symptoms mentioned above reappear in clinical manifestations; anti-NMDA IgG antibodies are positive; other possible causes can be ruled out: antibody tests should include cerebrospinal fluid. If only serum samples are available, antibody tests should be repeated after they are found to be positive. The antibody test should be repeated again before it is confirmed to be positive. Until the condition is determined.
