What is an autoimmune encephalitis negative?

Patient's question:

Grandpa got a thorough check-up at the hospital last week and the results showed he tested negative for autoimmune encephalitis. Seeing this, the family members suggested I should go to the hospital for treatment as soon as possible. So, I wanted to ask what does it mean to test negative for autoimmune encephalitis?

Doctor's answer:

A negative autoimmune encephalitis result only indicates the exclusion of symptoms related to autoimmune encephalitis, but other issues still require careful examination and diagnosis based on clinical manifestations. Currently, it is essential to promptly understand the examination results and follow the doctor's advice for treatment, which will be fine. Always maintain a positive mindset, avoid spicy and stimulating foods in your daily diet, and focus on a light yet nutritious diet to ensure adequate rest.
