Autoimmun vermittelte Enzephalitis

Autoimmunenzephalitiden bilden eine heterogene Gruppe neurologischer und psychiatrischer Erkrankungen. Es werden Antikörper-vermittelte Enzephalitiden von den häufig paraneoplastisch auftretenden Antikörper-assoziierten Enzephalitiden unterschieden. Während die Antikörper im ersten Fall direkt krankheitsverursachend sind, dienen sie im zweiten Fall als diagnostischer Biomarker mit hoher Aussagekraft für einen zugrunde liegenden Tumor.

Abstract

Autoimmune encephalitides form a heterogeneous group of neurological and psychiatric diseases. In antibody-mediated encephalitis, autoantibodies are pathogenic and directly cause the encephalitis. In antibody-associated encephalitis, which is paraneoplastic most of the time, autoantibodies serve as diagnostic biomarkers and are able to predict the underlying tumour.
