Post-SARS-CoV-2-Vaccine Autoimmune Encephalitis: A Case Report
We present a clinical case of a young woman with no prior history of neurological or psychiatric disease, with an acute episode of purely cognitive and psychiatric symptoms ten days after receiving SARS-CoV-2 vaccination. Multiple tests were practised in order to exclude metabolic, infectious, autoimmune and paraneoplastic diseases. Two repeated cerebro-spinal fluid (CSF) samples showed high lymphocytes with normal proteins, and neither radiological studies nor extensive autoimmune studies showed abnormal results. The patient was given a full treatment with intravenous high-dose corticosteroids and immunoglobulin. She was totally recovered when discharged.
