Title |
Anti-NMDA Receptor Encephalitis and Vaccination
|
Abstract |
Anti-N-methyl-D-aspartate (Anti-NMDA) receptor encephalitis is
an acute autoimmune neurological disorder. The cause of this disease
is often unknown, and previous studies revealed that it might be
caused by a virus, vaccine or tumor. It occurs more often in
females than in males. Several cases were reported to be related
to vaccination such as the H1N1 vaccine and tetanus/diphtheria/
pertussis and polio vaccines. In this study, we reported an anti-NMDA
receptor encephalitis case that may be caused by Japanese encephalitis
vaccination. To investigate the association between anti-NMDA receptor
encephalitis and vaccination, we analyzed the phylogenetic relationship
of the microRNAs, which significantly regulate these vaccine viruses or
bacteria. This reveals that anti-NMDA receptor encephalitis may be
caused by Japanese encephalitis vaccination, as well as H1N1 vaccination
or tetanus/diphtheria/pertussis and polio vaccinations, from the
phylogenetic viewpoint. |
