Clinical characteristics, long-term functional outcomes and relapse of anti-LGI1/Caspr2 encephalitis: a prospective cohort study in Western China

Abstract

The clinical characteristics such as age, gender, and tumor occurrence rates of anti-LGI1 encephalitis and anti-Caspr2 encephalitis in western China are different from those in the Western countries. Most patients in our study had favorable long-term functional outcomes. The relapse rates are still high in both types of encephalitis, which warrants caution.
