Comment: Post COVID-19 Vaccination Encephalitis as a Cause of Subacute Progressive Dementia: A Case Report and Literature Review.

Abstract

We would like to share ideas on the publication “Post COVID-19 Vaccination Encephalitis as a Cause of Subacute Progressive Dementia: A Case Report and Literature Review.1” Jung et al.1 reported an unusual occurrence of vaccination-induced encephalitis in a patient with dementia. According to Jung et al.,1 we should thoroughly assess older individuals who have cognitive deficits and take their histories to rule out reversible causes. The authors advised that clinicians should take autoimmune encephalitis into account as a potential diagnosis when evaluating post-vaccination neurologic symptoms and subacute dementia.1
