CLINICAL DIAGNOSIS OF AUTOIMMUNE ENCEPHALITIS : FACTS AND MISFACTS
Russell Dale (Australia)

ENTERING THE ERA OF EVIDENCE: CLINICAL TRIALS IN AUTOIMMUNE ENCEPHALITIS
Stacey Clardy (United States of America)

The aim of the session is to review Autoimmune Encephalitis in the light of the most recent descriptions of new autoantibodies, and the introduction of new immuno-oncological drugs that can contribute to causing diseases that are pathogenetically indistinguishable from classical autoimmune/paraneoplastic syndromes. Lectures will also include a practical approach to the challenges of diagnosis and management of these conditions in the clinical setting.

Finally, the emerging landscape of clinical trials in Autoimmune Encephalitis will be discussed, including the challenges of studying rare neurologic diseases
