ABSTRACT
Cryptococcal encephalitis is a fatal central nervous system infectious disease,whereas anti-N-methyl-D-aspartate(NMDA)receptor encephalitis(NMDARE)is an autoimmune syndrome associated with psychological symptoms,behavioural abnormalities,seizures,and dyskinesias.Despite their distinct pathologies and pathogenic mechanisms,both of them can lead to cognitive dysfunction and abnormal behaviors,although anti-NMDARE can also have mood and mental disorders as its core manifestations.A patient with nephrotic syndrome accompanied by both cryptococcal encephalitis and anti-NMDARE was treated in our center,which for the first confirmed that these two conditions could coexist in one patient.The underlying mechanism may be similar to that of anti-NMDARE after other infections.
