ABSTRACT:

Background

An increasing number of cases of autoimmune encephalitis (AE) with co-existing multiple anti-neuronal antibodies have been reported in recent years. However, the clinical significance of the concurrent presence of multiple anti-neuronal antibodies in patients with AE remains unclear.
