Description
Teng Huang and five co-authors review cases of brain inflammation caused by the immune system attacking nerve cell surfaces, in a 2023 study from one center in China. Records covered 103 patients seen from 2014 to 2020. Seizures, odd behavior, memory loss, and clouded awareness were the top signs. Each antibody type brought a somewhat unlike mix of signs.
First-line immune treatment worked in most subtypes, with success from about seventy to over ninety percent. A stronger drug served as second line for twenty-one patients. At last check, most patients had good outcomes. Tumor presence and a high blood ratio of two white cell types flagged poor outcomes. One tumor-linked subtype fared worst.
