Autoantibody-negative but probable pediatric autoimmune encephalitis following COVID-19 vaccination: A case report
Background
Large-scale vaccination against the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) occurred globally at an unprecedented pace. Sporadic cases of autoimmune encephalitis (AE) have been reported following COVID-19 vaccination, mainly in adults.
Case report
A 14-year-old girl developed altered mental status and was brought to our emergency department because of a seizure 19 days after receiving the third dose of COVID-19 vaccination. She was treated with steroid pulse therapy and fully recovered. The diagnosis of probable autoantibody-negative AE was finally made.
Conclusion
This case met the criteria for probable autoantibody-negative AE in children, as well as adults. Because of the temporal association and absence of another identifiable cause, her conditions may have been triggered by the COVID-19 vaccination. To our knowledge, this is the first published pediatric case of autoantibody-negative but probable AE following COVID-19 vaccination.
