Abstract

The detection of neural antibodies in patients with paraneoplastic and autoimmune encephalitis has majorly advanced the diagnosis and management of neural antibody-associated diseases. Although testing for these antibodies has historically been restricted to specialized centers, assay commercialization has made this testing available to clinical chemistry laboratories worldwide. This improved test accessibility has led to reduced turnaround time and expedited diagnosis, which are beneficial to patient care. However, as the utilization of these assays has increased, so too has the need to evaluate how they perform in the clinical setting. In this chapter, we discuss assays for neural antibody detection that are in routine use, draw attention to their limitations and provide strategies to help clinicians and laboratorians overcome them, all with the aim of optimizing neural antibody testing for paraneoplastic and autoimmune encephalitis in clinical practice.

优化临床实践中针对副肿瘤性脑炎和自身免疫性脑炎的神经抗体检测的诊断性能。
对副肿瘤性脑炎和自身免疫性脑炎患者体内神经抗体的检测极大地推动了神经抗体相关疾病的诊断和治疗。虽然这些抗体的检测历来仅限于专业中心,但检测方法的商业化已使全球的临床化学实验室都能进行这种检测。检测可及性的提高缩短了周转时间,加快了诊断速度,有利于患者护理。然而,随着这些检测方法使用率的提高,对其在临床环境中的表现进行评估的需求也在增加。在本章中,我们将讨论常规使用的神经抗体检测方法,提请注意它们的局限性,并提供帮助临床医生和实验室人员克服这些局限性的策略,所有这些都是为了优化临床实践中针对副肿瘤性脑炎和自身免疫性脑炎的神经抗体检测。

期刊介绍: The Handbook of Clinical Neurology (HCN) was originally conceived and edited by Pierre Vinken and George Bruyn as a prestigious, multivolume reference work that would cover all the disorders encountered by clinicians and researchers engaged in neurology and allied fields. The first series of the Handbook (Volumes 1-44) was published between 1968 and 1982 and was followed by a second series (Volumes 45-78), guided by the same editors, which concluded in 2002. By that time, the Handbook had come to represent one of the largest scientific works ever published. In 2002, Professors Michael J. Aminoff, François Boller, and Dick F. Swaab took on the responsibility of supervising the third (current) series, the first volumes of which published in 2003. They have designed this series to encompass both clinical neurology and also the basic and clinical neurosciences that are its underpinning. Given the enormity and complexity of the accumulating literature, it is almost impossible to keep abreast of developments in the field, thus providing the raison d''être for the series. The series will thus appeal to clinicians and investigators alike, providing to each an added dimension. Now, more than 140 volumes after it began, the Handbook of Clinical Neurology series has an unparalleled reputation for providing the latest information on fundamental research on the operation of the nervous system in health and disease, comprehensive clinical information on neurological and related disorders, and up-to-date treatment protocols.
