Popis: To determine whether CSF leucine‐rich glioma‐inactivated 1(LGI1)‐IgG titer, index or IgG subclass has prognostic significance, we tested serum and CSF specimens collected concomitantly from 39 seropositive patients. LGI1‐IgG index was elevated (>1) in 21 patients (54%), suggesting intrathecal synthesis. Patients with worse outcome at last follow‐up (modified Rankin Scale >2) had significantly higher index (median 6.57 vs. 0.5, P = 0.048) compared to those with better outcome. Higher CSF LGI1‐IgG4 subclass‐specific titer and index correlated with worse outcome (P
