Neuroimmunology and Neuroinfectious Diseases

Autoimmune Neurological Disorders and Therapeutic Advances

Autoimmune neurological disorders represent a diverse group of conditions in which the immune system mistakenly attacks components of the nervous system, leading to inflammation and neurological dysfunction. This session will focus on disorders such as multiple sclerosis, neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder, and autoimmune encephalitis, highlighting their underlying immunopathological mechanisms, clinical manifestations, and diagnostic approaches. Advances in biomarkers, neuroimaging, and laboratory techniques have significantly improved early and accurate diagnosis. The session will also explore recent therapeutic developments, including immunomodulatory drugs, monoclonal antibodies, and personalized medicine approaches aimed at controlling disease activity and preventing relapses. Emphasis will be placed on emerging research trends, clinical case studies, and multidisciplinary strategies that enhance patient management and long-term outcomes.
