What Is Autoimmune Encephalitis?
10. Treatment
There is no cure for autoimmune encephalitis so far. However, the condition can be treated to help lessen the severity of the symptoms. The treatment will be decided on a case by case basis, and will depend largely on how severe the condition is.
Medication is available that will help to suppress the immune system, thus reducing the attacks on the brain.
Corticosteroids can also be used, while medication is also available for psychiatric symptoms and seizures. Any cancers present will also need to be removed where possible. Therapy can be prescribed to help the patient regain any functionality they may have lost.
