ABSTRACT

@#Patients with end stage renal disease have higher risk of tuberculosis due to lower cell-mediated immunity. Standard regime of anti-tuberculosis contains isoniazid where neurological side effects such as seizure and encephalopathy have been documented. We present a case of isoniazid-induced encephalopathy in a haemodialysis patient. A literature review on isoniazid-induced encephalopathy was done. Recognition of this condition is important as it is reversible with cessation of isoniazid and institution of high dose pyridoxine

ABSTRACT

Anti-N-Methyl-D-Aspartate receptor (NMDAR) encephalitis is an immune mediated condition, which remains relatively unknown in Malaysia outside tertiary hospitals with neurology unit. It is often misdiagnosed as a psychiatric illness before definitive treatment is instituted. We report here an 18-year-old man who initially presented to the psychiatry unit before he was subsequently diagnosed as having anti-NMDAR encephalitis. To our knowledge, this is the first reported case of anti-NMDAR encephalitis in the east coast of Peninsular Malaysia.
