Abstract:
Autoimmune limbic encephalitis is part of CASPR 2 antibody-associated disease. A man with this rare disorder and a very high antibody titre had a unique history of laboratory exposure to the antigen. Together with earlier observations this case calls for caution in laboratory handling of nerve tissue.
