Symptoms of Autoimmune Encephalitis

The symptoms of autoimmune encephalitis can vary widely, depending on which area of the brain is affected. Some common symptoms include:

• Memory loss
• Confusion
• Behavioral changes
• Muscle weakness
• Seizures
• Difficulty speaking or understanding language
• Difficulty with coordination or balance

It's important to note that these symptoms can also be caused by other conditions, so it's important to consult a healthcare provider for an accurate diagnosis.

Diagnosing Autoimmune Encephalitis

Diagnosing autoimmune encephalitis can be challenging because the symptoms can be vague and similar to those of other conditions. A healthcare provider will typically start by performing a physical exam and taking a medical history. They may also order blood tests, imaging tests, and a spinal tap (lumbar puncture) to examine cerebrospinal fluid (CSF).

DNA Labs India offers an AUTO IMMUNE ENCEPHALITIS PANEL SERUM & CSF test to help diagnose the condition. This test looks for specific antibodies that are associated with autoimmune encephalitis. The test can be performed using both serum and cerebrospinal fluid samples.
