Auto Immune Encephalitis Panel Serum Test
Introduction
The Auto Immune Encephalitis Panel Serum Test is a vital diagnostic tool for identifying autoimmune encephalitis, a critical condition that can lead to severe neurological complications. This test analyzes serum samples for specific antibodies associated with autoimmune disorders, helping healthcare providers determine the underlying causes of neurological symptoms.
