• Cellular and synaptic mechanisms of anti-NMDA receptor encephalitis (2010, background): “In two series comprising 181 cases (Dalmau et al., 2008; Florance et al., 2009), there was a strong female predominance (ratio, 8.5: 1.5) and the median age of the patients was 19 years (23 months to 75 years; 40% children).”
• The frequency of autoimmune N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor encephalitis surpasses that of individual viral etiologies in young individuals enrolled in the California Encephalitis Project. (2012, background): “In 2 large series, anti-NMDAR encephalitis was more likely to affect women and impact younger individuals (median age of 19 y), approximately 40% of whom were children in these case sets [6–8].”
