【企画・趣旨のねらい】
Anti—NMDA receptor encephalitis(NMDARE)and myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein antibody—associated disease(MOGAD)are two major central nervous system(CNS)syndromes caused by autoantibodies against neuronal or glial antigens. Although observational studies have suggested the beneficial roles of high—dose corticosteroids and plasma exchange for the treatment of attacks, problems remain unsolved in the treatment strategy for refractory or frequently relapsing cases. In this symposium, we invite experts in both NMDARE and MOGAD to share their perspectives on the current trends in the treatment of autoantibody—mediated CNS diseases.
