Abstract:
Autoimmune encephalitis is a type of autoimmune disease affecting the central nervous system, which is mediated or associated with anti-neural antibodies. The pathogenesis and etiology are complex. Acute or subacute psycho-behavioral abnormalities, seizures, and cognitive impairment are the main clinical manifestations. Early diagnosis and aggressive immunotherapy are helpful for prognosis. This article reviews the progress in the pathogenesis, etiology, diagnosis and treatment of autoimmune encephalitis.
