New Treatment for Autoimmune Encephalitis Using Evgartegimod: Three Case Reports of Rapid Symptomatic Improvement
•
Autoimmune encephalitis (AE) is a group of inflammatory disorders affecting the brain, reflecting an excessive immune response against the body’s own tissues. Among these conditions, encephalitis targeting N-methyl-D-aspartate receptors (NMDAR) ranks as the most common, followed by leucine-rich glioma-inactivated 1 (LGI1) receptor infections and γ-aminobutyric acid (GABABR) compound infections. Patients…
