Anti-NMDA receptor encephalitis, also known as NMDA receptor antibody encephalitis, causes acute brain inflammation that is potentially lethal but has a high probability for recovery with treatment. It is caused by an immune system attack, primarily targeting the NR1 subunit of the NMDA receptor (N-methyl D-aspartate receptor). This assay aids in the diagnosis of anti-NMDA receptor encephalitis.
