Diagnosis progress of autoimmune encephalitis

Abstract:

The clinical manifestations of autoimmune encephalitis (AE) consist of acute or sub-acute memory loss, mental-behavior disorders and seizures. Clinical diagnostic criteria for AE, published by Lancet Neurology in 2016, and Expert Consensus on Diagnosis and Treatment of Chinese Autoimmune Encephalitis in 2017 are of great importance for the standardized diagnosis and treatment. In this article, we will review the common types of AE and the clinical features of the newly-found AE antibodies related syndromes.
