Autoimmune encephalitis is the term for a novel group of conditions in which the immune system produces antibodies against proteins on the surface of brain cells. These conditions are underdiagnosed and highly treatable.
In Odense Autoimmune Encephalitis Research group, we aim to increase the understanding of these conditions in order to provide the best possible treatment for patients.
On this page you can see our current research projects, publications and how to engage in our research.
Furthermore, we aim to provide information to patients and caregivers about diagnosis and treatment of autoimmune encephalitis. These pages are in Danish.
Autoimmun hjernebetændelse er betegnelsen for en række nye sygdomme, hvor immunsystemet overreagerer og danner såkaldte antistoffer som binder sig til hjernecellernes overflade proteiner.
Disse tilstande er underdiagnosticerede og kan behandles.
Vores forskningsgruppe arbejder på forstå disse sygdomme bedre, til gavn for behandling af patienterne.
På denne side kan du se vores nuværende forskningsprojekter, artikler og hvordan du kan hjælpe med denne forskning.
Ydermere ønsker vi at give information til patienter og pårørende omkring diagnostik og behandling af autoimmun hjernebetændelse. Disse sider er på dansk.
