COVID ‐19‐associated AMPA‐R and CRMP‐5 autoimmune encephalitis in a patient with thymoma and myasthenia gravis

Year: 2023

Type: article

Abstract: Thymomas are associated with autoimmune disease, most commonly myasthenia gravis, and rarely with autoimmune encephalitis. More recently, viral triggers including COVID-19 have also been implicated in autoimmunity. We present a case of antibody-positive autoimmune encephalitis that developed in the setting of COVID-19 in a patient with thymomatous myasthenia gravis.
