SA, PubMed has a list of eighteen citations of the article “Relevance of Neuroinflammation and Encephalitis in Autism”. I don’t yet know how many support or criticise it, but it shows that this issue has not been ignored by the scientific community.

The other article was retracted by the journal’s editors; here’s the retraction notice:

The editors indeed cited inadequate declaration of conflicts of interest, but I’m more interested in this bit:
– “Furthermore, the article itself contains a number of errors, and mistakes of various types that raise concerns about the validity of the conclusion. As a result, this article is being retracted by the editors without the agreement of the authors.”
I’ve had a fish around but I haven’t found any discussion as to what the errors are. Any idea where I should look?
