Objective: The current guidelines recommend screening all patients with first episode psychosis (FEP) for anti-NMDA receptor encephalitis. This paper explores the pitfalls of this strategy. Conclusion: Screening for anti-NMDA receptor encephalitis in patients with FEP when the pre-test probability based on the clinical presentation is low creates a risk of false positive results. Testing based on clinical suspicion would be preferable.
