摘要

随着抗神经抗体检测技术的发展,对于自身免疫性脑炎的认知越来越广泛,但诊治水平革新的同时也带来了一定比例的误诊,导致部分患者治疗不当。误诊的主要原因包括不严格执行的诊断标准,不正确的抗体检测结果解读以及不充分的鉴别诊断。相对于成人,儿童自身免疫性脑炎患者的症状识别难度更大,存在区别于成人的抗体谱系及特征,鉴别诊断涉及范围更广泛,诊治面临更大挑战。本文将结合国内诊治现状,梳理儿童自身免疫性脑炎诊治流程,并对当今存在的主要的诊治误区进行解读和分析,旨在帮助广大儿科医师提升自身免疫性脑炎的精准诊治水平。

Abstract

Over the past 15 years, the development of antibody detection technology led to the increased awareness of autoimmune encephalitis. However, the innovation has also brought about a certain proportion of misdiagnosis, and some patients have been treated improperly as a result. The main reasons for misdiagnosis include lax implementation of diagnostic criteria, incorrect interpretation of antibody test results, and insufficient differential diagnosis. Compared with adults, the symptoms of children with autoimmune encephalitis are more difficult to identify, and there are antibody spectrum and characteristics that are different from those of adults. The differential diagnosis of the disease involves a wider range, and its diagnosis and treatment face greater challenges. This article will summarize the diagnosis and treatment process of autoimmune encephalitis in children based on the current situation in China. The related pitfalls of diagnosis and treatment are interpreted and analyzed in order to help pediatricians improve accurate diagnosis and treatment of autoimmune encephalitis.
