An anti-NMDA receptor encephalitis mimicking an HIV encephalitis

摘要

The incidence of HIV associated neurocognitive disorders (HAND) were reduced with the use of antiretroviral therapy. In case of neuropsychiatric symptoms, after elimination of all infections, auto-immune encephalitis could be evocated as a differential diagnosis. We describe a case of anti-N-Methyl-D-Aspartate receptor encephalitis in an HIV-1 infected woman.
