AB  - Encephalitis associated with antibodies to the N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor 
      (NMDAR) has variable clinical manifestations. Patients are often diagnosed with 
      infectious processes because of prodromal symptoms and autonomic manifestations. 
      Approximately 70% of patients have prodromal symptoms consisting of headache, 
      fever, nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea, along with frequent autonomic 
      manifestations, including tachycardia, and fluctuating blood pressure. A 
      36-year-old woman presented with uncontrolled fever and skin and soft tissue 
      infections. She had shown psychiatric symptoms and abnormal behavior, and had 
      been diagnosed with bipolar disorder. Antibodies to NMDAR were positive in 
      cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and serum samples, and pelvic computed tomography 
      detected a large ovarian teratoma. The patient improved dramatically after 
      removal of the teratoma and administration of corticosteroid therapy. When 
      confronted with a young woman with uncontrolled fever and acute psychiatric 
      symptoms, physicians should suspect anti-NMDAR encephalitis.
