Abstract
Anti-N-methyl-d-aspartate (anti-NMDA) receptor encephalitis is a type of autoimmune encephalitis characterized by the rapid onset of neurologic dysfunction. Several studies have reported the important role of post-infectious effect in its pathogenesis. Herein, we report on a 68-year-old woman diagnosed with anti-NMDA receptor encephalitis with concomitant intracranial cryptococcal infection, who was followed up for two years and demonstrated clinical improvements after effective anti-fungal therapy. This case may help expand the clinical spectrum of post-infectious immune-mediated etiology of anti-NMDA receptor encephalitis. The pathogenic role of both disorders requires further investigation.
