Neuroimmunology and Neuroinfectious Diseases

Neuroimmunology in Pediatric Disorders

This session focuses on the role of neuroimmunological mechanisms in pediatric neurological disorders, including pediatric multiple sclerosis, autoimmune encephalitis, and neurodevelopmental conditions linked to immune dysfunction. It will explore how immune system abnormalities influence brain development, cognition, and behavior in children. Emphasis will be placed on early diagnosis, age-specific biomarkers, and the challenges of managing neurological diseases in pediatric populations. Advances in pediatric neuroimaging, immunotherapies, and supportive care strategies will also be discussed, along with clinical case studies that highlight diagnosis and treatment complexities in children.
