Effect of Rituximab in Patients with Leucine-Rich, Glioma-Inactivated 1 Antibody-Associated Encephalopathy
JAMA Neurol 71:896-900, Irani, S.R.,et al, 2014
See this aricle in Pubmed

Article Abstract
Rituximab was well tolerated in this predominantly older adult patient population and may be an effective option for some patients with LGl1 antibody-associated encephalopathy. Glucocorticoid therapy appears particularly efficacious. Earlier rituximab administration and randomized trials are required to formally assess efficacy.
