Autoimmune encephalitis
Autoimmune encephalitis is a rare condition in which the immune system mistakenly attacks healthy brain cells, leading to inflammation of the brain.
Symptoms
It can cause a wide range of neurological symptoms, including confusion, memory problems, seizures, and behavioral changes.
Diagnosis & treatment
Diagnosing and treating autoimmune encephalitis typically involves a combination of clinical evaluation, imaging studies, and blood tests to identify specific antibodies causing the autoimmune response.
Treatment
Treatment often includes immunosuppressive therapies and supportive care to manage symptoms and control the immune response. If you or someone you know is experiencing symptoms of autoimmune encephalitis, it's important to seek medical attention promptly.
