Patients and Controls
We recruited 5 patients diagnosed of anti-NMDAR encephalitis (all
patients with anti-NMDAR antibody positive) and 7 controls from Nanjing
Brain Hospital. The anti-NMDAR encephalitis diagnosed criteria of 2016
were chosen as the inclusive criteria for the group of patients with
anti-NMDAR encephalitis 28. These control subjects
consisted of patients with 6 patients with hydrocephalus and 1 patient
with acute head trauma and all of them have no autoimmune encephalitis.
The baseline characteristics of patients (n = 5) and controls (n = 7)
were shown in Table 1.
This study was approved by the Ethics Committee of Nanjing Brain
Hospital, Nanjing Medical University.
