Seeing elephants and drinking water from a porcelain vase: the psychiatric face of autoimmune encephalitis

Dr. Jacqueline Gosink — Thu, 18 Jun 2026 07:15:47 +0000

Identifying autoimmune encephalitis (AIE) in patients with psychiatric symptoms is challenging, especially since many associated autoantibodies are rare and not routinely tested. A recent case study of steroid-responsive psychosis linked to anti-septin-7 antibodies — characterised in collaboration with Euroimmun and published in Translational Psychiatry — highlights the need to consider autoimmune causes in primary mental […]

New study broadens understanding of anti-IgLON5 disease

Dr. Jacqueline Gosink — Tue, 19 May 2026 14:46:35 +0000

A case of anti-IgLON5 disease presenting with unusual clinical features has expanded current understanding of this rare autoimmune disorder. The case was investigated in a collaborative study between Euroimmun and clinics in Lübeck and Hamburg (Germany) and published in the Journal of Neurology. What is anti-IgLON5 disease? Anti-IgLON5 disease is a rare and poorly understood […]
