Autoimmune Encephalitis Clinical Trial
— PEOfficial title:
Prospective Randomized Controlled Trial of Plasma Exchange in Autoimmune Encephalitis
The study is to explore the treatment effects and long-term prognosis (12 months and 24 months after immunotherapy) by comparing the early plasma exchange (PE) combined with medication therapy with the PE after medication immunotherapy in autoimmune encephalitis (AE) patients, to make clear that the early PE can be more effective than the treatment of PE after medication immunotherapy. As well as, the study is to explore whether PE is also effective in AE with autoantibody synthesis in the sheath, positive cerebrospinal fluid antibody and seronegative.
