- Reduce delays in diagnosis and initiation of guideline-based treatment in patients with suspected autoimmune encephalitis,
- Reduce unnecessary testing of neuronal autoantibodies.
LEARNING OBJECTIVES
After completing this module, you will be equipped to:
- Recognize the importance of completing the appropriate workup for patients suspected of having autoimmune encephalitis.
- Interpret CSF and serum neural antibody test results and recognize the limitations of antibody testing.
- Describe clinical and radiological red flags for misdiagnosis of autoimmune encephalitis.
- Apply the 3-step process of malignancy workup in patients suspected of having autoimmune encephalitis.
- Recognize the importance of timely first-line treatments for autoimmune encephalitis patients.
