Anti-amphiphysin antibody-induced paraneoplastic-autoimmune encephalitis: case report and literature review by E. Kavaliauskaitė, R. Mameniškienė

“…The absence of a particular clinical pattern and pathognomonic features makes diagnosing paraneoplastic-autoimmune encephalitis complicated, especially when a malignancy is not initially apparent. Detection of specific antibodies in serum and cerebrospinal fluid remains the main diagnostic tool. …”
