Autoimmune encephalitis in Latin America. Clinical features and outcomes in pediatric and adult populations: retrospective cohort of The REAL LABIC Project
This is the first regional multicenter study of autoimmune encephalitis in Latin America highlighting the above findings. There were no significant differences in most of the analyzed variables between pediatric and adult populations. Future research should address the strengths and limitations of this registry with the aim of gaining a broader understanding of autoimmune encephalitis in our region.
