Patient's question:
I've been feeling a really bad headache recently. I got a thorough check-up and found out I have autoimmune encephalitis. I want to ask if autoimmune encephalitis can be relieved?Doctor's answer:
Autoimmune encephalitis currently has no way to alleviate it. Patients generally suffer from progressive hemiplegia and intellectual disability. The cause is primarily considered to be related to viral infection. It is recommended to conduct an electroencephalogram for a thorough examination to confirm the diagnosis. In terms of treatment, the main approach is to flexibly use antiepileptic treatment, and then cooperate with antiviral drugs. If these methods are not very effective, surgery may need to be implemented.
