SO348 Brief Oral Poster PresentationConsultation-Liaison PsychiatryCase series # When the immune system speaks through the mind: a case series of psychiatric presentations in immune-mediated diseases .WHEN THE IMMUNE SYSTEM SPEAKS THROUGH THE MIND : A CASE SERIES OF PSYCHIATRIC PRESENTATIONS IN IMMUNE-MEDIATED DISORDERS Presenter: Imtiaz Ahmad Dogar Country: Pakistan Institution: Faisalabad Medical University, Allied II Hospital, Department of Psychiatry & Behavioral Sciences Session: 3860 - PARALLEL SHORT ORAL POSTER SESSIONS: CONSULTATION LIAISON - Part III Date: Fri, 25.09.2026 Psychiatric presentations in immune-mediated diseases span a broad spectrum, from psychosis to cognitive impairment and from obsessive-compulsive symptoms to tics, highlighting the need to investigate autoimmune and inflammatory causes and pursue multidisciplinary collaboration in atypical or treatment-resistant cases. The study aims to describe psychiatric presentations in selected immune-mediated diseases and identify red flags, diagnostic assessments, and outcomes relevant to psychiatric practice. In this retrospective descriptive case series, the clinical records of five patients referred to psychiatry were reviewed for psychiatric symptoms, medical history, reason for consultation, investigations, multidisciplinary input, treatment, and outcomes; all cases were anonymized. The diagnoses comprised systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), antiphospholipid syndrome (APS), a PANS/PANDAS-like presentation, celiac disease, and multiple sclerosis (MS). The psychiatric presentations were, respectively, new-onset acute psychosis in the context of active systemic disease in SLE; mood and behavioral symptoms in the context of vascular and thrombotic processes in APS; abrupt-onset obsessive-compulsive symptoms and tics following an infection in the PANS/PANDAS-like presentation; mood symptoms in the context of chronic gastrointestinal disease in celiac disease; and a mood disorder with cognitive impairment in the context of neurological pathology in MS. The poster lists sudden symptom onset, atypical age at onset, a fluctuating clinical course, neurological findings, poor or partial response to psychiatric treatment, and a background suggestive of systemic immune involvement as red flags; it notes that neuroimaging and disease-specific serological tests supported the underlying medical diagnoses. Within a liaison framework involving rheumatology, neurology, pediatrics, and internal medicine, combined interventions incorporating psychotropic medication, immunomodulatory or disease-specific treatment, anticoagulation, or dietary modification were associated with partial or marked improvement in most cases. The authors report that considering autoimmune and inflammatory etiologies in atypical or treatment-resistant psychiatric presentations, recognizing red flags, and ensuring timely liaison may improve diagnostic accuracy and clinical outcomes.
