Abstract
Anti-NMDA-receptor encephalitis was initially described as a paraneoplastic disorder in young women with ovarian teratoma. We report on a 3-year-old boy who developed anti-NMDA-receptor encephalitis one month after a respiratory infection. Moreover, array-comparative genomic hybridization in this patient revealed an inherited microdeletion in chromosomeband 6p21.32, including the HLA-DPB1 and HLA-DPB2 genes. The clinical relevance of this microdeletion is discussed.Entities:
