About The Webinar
The Autoimmune Brain Panel™ (formerly known as the Cunningham Panel™) is an aid in a clinician’s diagnosis of autoimmune encephalopathy and basal ganglia encephalitis disorders. Neurologic, psychiatric, and behavioral symptoms can result from a number of different etiologies. When the underlying root is an autoimmune encephalopathy or basal ganglia encephalitis, treatments that have shown effectiveness include anti-infectives, anti-inflammatory and immune modulatory modalities.
This free educational webinar will explain the clinical significance of autoimmune antibodies against brain and neuronal targets, and the types of symptoms that have been associated with them. We will review some of the most common presenting symptoms associated with positive Autoimmune Brain Panel™ results, and share published clinical data on patients’ before and after effective treatment.
Attendees will gain a strong understanding of the biology behind infection-triggered autoimmune neuropsychiatric disorders, the most common patient symptoms, and how to utilize the Autoimmune Brain Panel™ test results in treatment decisions.
