Validation of a Diagnostic Score for Encephalitis to Assess the Risk of Autoimmune Origin (Val-Dia score)

July 12, 2023 updated by: Hospices Civils de Lyon
The investigators wish to test a diagnostic risk score for autoimmune encephalitis in case of encephalitis, previously validated by two American teams, in a retrospective analysis, according to the clinical and paraclinical data available in our database of the Reference Centre for Autoimmune Encephalitis and Paraneoplastic Neurological Syndromes of Professor Honnorat for patients with NMDAr, anti LGi1, anti CASPR2, anti GABAbr and anti GAD antibodies.
