AUTOIMMUNE ENCEPHALITIS

Autoimmune Encephalitis Treatment in Dubai

At King’s College Hospital London in Dubai, we focus on early recognition and regular follow-up when treating autoimmune encephalitis. This condition happens when the immune system affects the brain, which can cause changes in behavior, memory, or awareness.

At King’s College Hospital Dubai, our consultants lead your care. We work to find the cause quickly, begin treatment early, and adjust your plan as you respond.

What does autoimmune encephalitis care involve?

We usually start with a detailed neurological review, along with imaging and other tests to see what is happening in the brain. These tests may include MRI scans, EEG monitoring, and lab tests.

Treatment focuses on calming the immune response and helping you recover. As your symptoms change, we review and adjust your care plan, involving other specialists if needed.

When should you see us?

Symptoms can appear quickly and may not always seem related to the brain at first. You should seek medical advice if you notice sudden or unusual changes that cannot be easily explained.

You may want to be assessed if there is:

• A noticeable change in behavior or personality
• Memory problems or confusion
• Seizures
• Difficulty with awareness or responsiveness

How is autoimmune encephalitis managed step by step?

1. An urgent neurological assessment based on symptoms
