Abstract:
Autoimmune encephalitis (AE) is a non-infectious inflammatory disease caused by the presence of autoantibodies directed against neuronal surface or intracellular antigens. Its incidence in Western countries is about 0.8 per 100,000 people. AE requires differentiation primarily with psychiatric diseases, but it also requires oncological vigilance. On the other hand, in the case of an acute episode of psychosis, differentiation with AE should always be pursued. This paper discusses the most common psychiatric disorders that occur in autoimmune encephalitis.
