Abstract
Encephalitis with antibodies to glutamate NMDA receptors (anti-NMDA receptor encephalitis, ANRE) is a relatively common form of autoimmune encephalitis. Clinical symptoms at onset are similar to the symptoms of exacerbation of schizophrenia, such that these patients are often hospitalized in psychiatric institutions. Considering the high lethality of this condition, and also its potential curability, detection of ANRE is an important clinical task. We present here the first laboratory confirmed case of ANRE in the Russian literature. Difficulties preventing the prompt resolution of the condition are presented, along with criteria for its diagnosis and a treatment algorithm.
