Autoimmune Encephalitis can be incredibly isolating, especially when it seems no one has heard of it, let alone can understand the recovery process for a brain that has been “on fire” 🔥. We promise ❤️ - you’re not alone, and everyday we are working & raising awareness.

Had a great time presenting our experience at my clinical home😀. If you're interested in learning more about the misdiagnosis of #AutoimmuneEncephalitis and opportunities to help us advance the treatment of AIE, join me in San Antonio this Friday @Texas_Neuros Summer Meeting!

Phenomenal Grand Rounds by my brilliant friend/colleague Dr. Blackburn!! Very informative & well structured talk speaking on the diagnosis/misdiagnosis of autoimmune encephalitis. Exciting to hear about some emerging therapies & clinical trials on the horizon 🌟@kyleblackburnmd

FACT: Encephalitis can be caused by infections or autoimmune conditions where the body's immune responses attack the brain. Even with extensive testing, the cause of encephalitis remains unknown in >30% of cases.

Got a wonderful surprise from one of our students today! I accidentally ate the #NMDAR cookie before I got a picture… or rather, I doing my best to keep it away from the brain! @extinguishtrial @AE_Alliance @AntiNMDA_Inc @UTSW_NeuroRes

FACT: In addition to psychotic features, confusion, memory loss, abnormal movements and seizures, NMDAR patients can experience severe autonomic dysregulation: causing fluctuations in blood pressure, heart rate and temperature. #EnrollingNow

Excited to be part of this trial with our amazing team @UTSWNeurology, and to work with an amazing international group to bring much needed evidence and better treatments for for patients with #NMDArEncephalitis! #neurotwitter

A brief history of NMDAR Encephalitis milestones👇 After many years in the making, @ExTINGUISHTrial is enrolling NOW at over 20 sites in the US, for newly diagnosed patients, at time of diagnosis: clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT04… #MedTwitter #NeuroTwitter #NeuroTwitterNetwork

FACT: In Autoimmune Encephalitis, the immune system mistakenly attacks healthy brain cells, leading to neurologic and psychiatric symptoms. Go to ClinicalTrials.gov: ExTINGUISH Trial - for NEWLY diagnosed NMDAR Encephalitis. #NMDARAwareness, today in the healing mountains⛰

Our residents are hard at work covering a variety of neurology services across Parkland, Clements, the VA, and Children's 💪🧠 Despite busy schedules, there's always time for Vitamin D, Starbucks "pink drinks", and officially retiring 28 hour in-house call!

Great step toward a more transparent, uniform application process. If we can solidify funding for #Neuroimmunology/#AutoimmuneNeurology programs that would be icing on the cake!

Big/wonderful news! Neuro-immunology announced that they will have a fellowship match starting with the 2023 application cycle (current PGY2s). This will promote equity and fairness, and should be a huge win for residents. 1/3 @NMatch2023 @meded #neurology
