THE IMPORTANCE OF CONSIDERING AN AUTOIMMUNE ETIOLOGY

Because of the potential benefit of early-initiated immunotherapy, it is essential that an autoimmune etiology be considered in the initial differential diagnosis of new onset dementias, encephalopathies, and epilepsies. Early treatment, and maintenance immunotherapy where appropriate, assures an optimal outcome for the patient. Informative serological testing may also expedite the search for a limited stage cancer.
