I have a family member with an incidence of autoimmune encephalitis secondary to other conditions (my entire family is an autoimmune cluster) who is actually hospitalized for it now. This almost matches my experience to a tee, though anti-NMDAR was tested for and not found. The neurologists wanted to discharge prior to attempting immunotherapy and thankfully we were able to ensure they tried (pulse steroids).
