Autoimmune Limbic Encephalopathy and Anti-Hu Antibodies in Children without Cancer
Neurol 80:2226-2232, Honnorat, J.,et al, 2013
See this aricle in Pubmed

Article Abstract
In children, as in-adults, Hu-Abs can be a marker of PNS. However, in contrast to adults, Hu-Abs in children are also associated with an aggressive form of autoimmune nonparaneoplastic limbic encephalitis. Future studies should be conducted to determine the incidence of this syndrome and whether earlier diagnosis and T-cell-directed immunotherapies may improve its prognosis.
