Pediatric Autoimmune Encephalitis

Pediatric Autoimmune Encephalitis is a condition where a child's immune system mistakenly attacks the brain, causing inflammation. This can lead to a range of symptoms, including confusion, seizures, behavioral changes, and difficulty with motor skills. It often arises after an infection, and while it is rare, it can significantly impact a child's health and development. Treatment typically involves medications to reduce inflammation and suppress the immune response, helping to improve symptoms and restore normal brain function. Early diagnosis and intervention are crucial for better outcomes.
