We described a case of anti-NMDA-receptor encephalitis presenting as febrile catatonia in a 22-year-old patient with no somatic burden. We looked into the dynamics of the disease and treatment strategy. In the discussion, we provided analysis of the presented case, as well as issues related to research perspectives in this field.
