abstract = {Autoimmune encephalitis (AE) is a rapidly evolving topic in
both neurology and psychiatry. A recent international
consensus article defined criteria for possible, probable,
and definite autoimmune psychosis (AP) inspired by the
principles established in neurology for the definition of
AE. This has stimulated much clinical research on AP but
also criticism of the validity of the criteria for possible
AP, justifying additional clinical investigations such as
lumbar puncture. In clinical practice, it is often difficult
to decide how far diagnostic procedures such as lumbar
punctures and immunotherapies should go in unclear cases.
Against this background, we have 3 aims in this review.
First, we summarize and compare the available concepts for
the diagnosis of AP in a systematic literature review.
Second, we present an overview of typical specific and
nonspecific findings that can be obtained in laboratory,
electroencephalography, magnetic resonance imaging,
cerebrospinal fluid, and [18F]fluorodeoxyglucose positron
emission tomography studies in the context of AP. Thirdly,
we summarize these findings and present the Neuropsychiatric
Checklist for Autoimmune Psychosis as a tool for clinical
assessment of the likelihood of AP, with reference to the
typical red-flag symptoms and the specific and many
unspecific findings that can be identified in additional
investigations. We suggest that this instrument may be a
useful tool for a comprehensive, possibly uniform, and
standardized case assessment in the context of possible AP.},
