Objective The role of autoimmunity and neural antibodies is increasingly recognized in
different forms of seizures and epilepsy. Their prevalence in new-onset epilepsy has also
recently been the focus of several clinical cohorts in the adult and pediatric population, with
positive titers in 10–11% of cases. Our aim was to determine the seropositivity at the first
seizure onset in a non-selective group of children. Method We conducted a prospective
multicenter cohort study recruiting children aged 0–16 years with new-onset seizures …
