Onconeural Antibodies in Acute Psychiatric Inpatient Care (original) (raw)

Abstract

AI

Paraneoplastic neurological disorders associated with onconeural antibodies often appear with neuropsychiatric symptoms. To study the prevalence of onconeural antibodies in patients admitted to acute psychiatric inpatient care, the serum of 585 such patients was tested for antibodies targeting various onconeural antigens. Only one sample was positive (antirecoverin IgG). The findings suggest that serum onconeural antibody positivity is rare among patients acutely admitted for inpatient psychiatric care, indicating that routine screening for these antibodies may not be clinically informative.
