F235. Immune and Infectious Biomarkers in Psychosis and Clinically High-Risk Psychosis Populations

Immune and infectious contributions to psychiatric disease have been increasingly recognized, but mechanisms are poorly understood. Anti-NMDA receptor encephalitis frequently presents with psychosis, and many studies have investigated the presence of anti-NMDAR antibodies in those with schizophrenia. Infectious diseases such as Lyme disease can present with neuropsychiatric manifestations, and co-morbid Lyme disease and psychosis has been reported in case reports.
