Rare cases occur in which an infectious trigger is identified. Herpes simplex virus encephalitis induced anti-NMDAR encephalitis is an autoimmune process and immune responsive condition which has a 50% mortality in children and immune suppression and modulation (steroid, IVIg, rituximab) have a role (Armangue et al, 2015).
Case Notes for:
Encephalitis is an acute inflammation of the brain tissue characterized by fever, headache, nausea, vomiting, weakness and altered mental status. The clinical presentation can be florid or subacute. The development of seizures is a bad prognostic sign with mortality up to 30% and permanent morbidity (cognitive/motor problems) in many of survivors.

Our goal is to help the fundraising committee raise at least $20,000 to fund International Autoimmune Encephalitis Society a family/patient center and educationally based 501(c)3 non-profit that assists patients in getting diagnosed through to their recovery for this treatable and reversible brain disease.
