Abstract: Objective To evaluate the significance of the detection of anti-neuronal antibodies in the early diagnosis of paraneoplastic syndrome (PNS) of nervous system (PNSNS). Methods We detected anti-Hu, anti-Yo, anti-Ri, anti-Ma2/ta, anti-CV2, anti-Amphiphysin antibodies of 68 sera by neuronal antigen spectrum of IgG antibody kit (amount medical laboratory diagnostics ag); Results Of the 48 PNS samples, 6 (6/48, 12.5%) were positive for anti-neuronal autoantibodies, among which, 4(23.5%) positive samples were from Group A (demyelinating diseases), 2 (10.0%) positive samples were from Group C (Guillain-Barre syndrome); samples from Group B (motor neuron diseasse) and D (Healthy control) were all negative. There was a trend of higher ratio of anti-neuronal antibodies positive rate in PNSNS group than healthy control group, although the data failed to reach a statistical significance. Conclusion The detection of anti-neuronal antibodies might be a credible method in the early diagnosis of PNSNS.

Key words: paraneoplastic syndrome of nervous system (PNSNS), anti-neuronal antibodies, demyelinating disease
