Autoimmune encephalitis with anti-NMDA (N-methyl-D-aspartate) receptor encephalitis is the most common type. This condition can be associated with underlying malignancy, making appropriate screening essential. Prompt identification and intervention of autoimmune encephalitis is essential for a successful outcome and full recovery from this serious and potentially fatal condition. Immunotherapy is typically used to suppress the immune response and reduce brain inflammation. The choice of therapy depends on the type and severity of autoimmune encephalitis, as well as the presence of an underlying tumour.
自身免疫性脑炎伴抗 N-甲基-D-天冬氨酸（NMDA）受体脑炎是最常见的类型。这种疾病可能与潜在的恶性肿瘤有关，因此进行适当的筛查至关重要。及时识别和干预自身免疫性脑炎对于获得良好的预后和从这种严重且可能致命的疾病中完全康复至关重要。免疫疗法通常用于抑制免疫反应和减轻脑炎症。治疗方法的选择取决于自身免疫性脑炎的类型和严重程度，以及是否存在潜在肿瘤。
