LID - 10.1212/NXI.0000000000200126 [doi] LID - e200126 AB - OBJECTIVES: Autoimmune encephalitis (AE) with antibodies against LGI1 and IgLON5 are clinically distinctive but share some particularities such as a strong association with specific human leukocyte antigen (HLA) class II alleles. METHODS: We clinically describe a patient with double positivity for LGI1 and IgLON5 antibodies. In addition, we conducted specific immunodepletion with the patient's serum and HLA typing and investigated the presence of serum IgLON5 antibodies in a cohort of 23 anti-LGI1 patients carrying the HLA predisposing for anti-IgLON5 encephalitis. RESULTS: A 70-year-old woman with a history of lymphoepithelial thymoma presented with subacute cognitive impairment and seizures. Investigations included MRI and EEG showing medial temporal involvement, increased CSF protein content, and polysomnography with REM and non-REM motor activity, along with obstructive apnea. Neural antibody testing revealed both LGI1 and IgLON5 antibodies in serum and CSF, and serum immunodepletion ruled out cross-reactivity. The patient carried DRB1*07:01 and DQA1*01:01 approximately DQB1*05:01, but no other IgLON5-positive case was identified in a cohort of anti-LGI1 patients carrying DQA1*01 approximately DQB1*05. Nearly full therapeutic response was obtained after intensified immunosuppressive treatment. DISCUSSION: We present a case of anti-LGI1 encephalitis with concomitant IgLON5 antibodies. Co-occurring IgLON5 antibodies in anti-LGI1 encephalitis are exceptional, but may appear in genetically predisposed individuals. CI - Copyright (c) 2023 The Author(s).
