Objective:

To correct errors in the published article regarding surrogate markers of CNS inflammation in CSF for diagnosing autoimmune encephalitis.

Approach:
    Key Findings:
    • CSF pleocytosis is a more accurate term than CSF monocytosis for describing mononuclear white cell counts >5.
    • Conventional markers such as CSF pleocytosis, oligoclonal bands, and MRI changes are not sensitive or specific for diagnosing autoimmune encephalitis.
    Interpretation:

    The corrections clarify the terminology and improve the accuracy of the data presented in the original study.

    Limitations:
    • The original errors may have led to misinterpretation of the study's findings.
    Conclusion:

    The article has been updated to reflect these corrections.
