Autoimmune encephalopathy evaluation: Why be comprehensive?
Virtual Lecture
Expires: September 1, 2023
Understanding the rapidly evolving field of autoimmune neurology helps physicians quickly and accurately diagnose this treatable patient population. A review of the phenotype-specific evaluations and the role of paraneoplastic testing can avoid delays in diagnosis and improve efficiency for the lab. The move away from the traditional paraneoplastic approach to testing is the result of decades of well-published research aimed at improving patient care. Proper utilization of the phenotype-specific test menu improves specificity, offers physicians a definitive diagnosis, and shortens the patient journey.
