Post-infectious neurological disorders 2020-08-30 .txt text/plain 6396 384 33 In this review, we discuss the proposed mechanisms underlying pathogen-induced autoimmunity, and highlight the clinical presentation and treatment of several post-infectious autoimmune neurological disorders. 2 The role of infections in the pathogenesis of 'classic' neuroimmunological disorders such as multiple sclerosis and Guillain-Barre syndrome (GBS) has been studied extensively. Here, we review the current landscape of post-infectious neurological autoimmunity, discuss proposed immunological mechanisms, highlight specific disorders strongly associated with pathogens, and review treatment considerations. Mimicry-induced autoimmunity may play an important role in GBS cases associated with severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection. 168, 169 Furthermore, a recent systematic review determined that, among 43 post-HSE cases, no patients had experienced recurrence of herpes simplex following treatment for autoimmune encephalitis, despite the use of first and second-line immunotherapy.
