When Your Brain Needs Answers: Autoimmune Encephalitis Testing in South Africa
We understand how frightening it can be when your brain doesn’t feel like your own. The memory lapses, confusion, seizures, or personality changes that seem to come out of nowhere can leave you feeling lost and concerned. At Oracle Genomics, we’re here to provide the clarity and answers you need with our comprehensive Autoimmune Encephalitis Panel CSF Test.
Understanding Your Autoimmune Encephalitis Test
Autoimmune encephalitis occurs when your immune system mistakenly attacks healthy brain cells, causing inflammation that can lead to serious neurological symptoms. Our CSF (cerebrospinal fluid) test is specifically designed to detect the antibodies responsible for this condition, giving you and your doctor the information needed for proper treatment.
This advanced test examines your cerebrospinal fluid for five critical antibodies:
- NMDA Receptor Antibodies – Associated with memory problems and psychiatric symptoms
- AMPA Receptor Antibodies – Linked to seizures and cognitive changes
- GABA-B Receptor Antibodies – Connected to movement disorders and seizures
- LG1 Antibodies – Often causing memory issues and confusion
- CASPR2 Antibodies – Associated with nerve pain and sleep disturbances
Who Should Consider This Important Test?
If you’re experiencing any of these concerning symptoms, this test could provide the answers you need:
- Unexplained memory problems or confusion
- Recent personality or behaviour changes
- Seizures that started suddenly
- Difficulty speaking or understanding speech
- Movement disorders or coordination problems
- Sleep disturbances or extreme fatigue
- Psychiatric symptoms without previous history
Many South Africans initially worry they’re “going crazy” when these symptoms appear. Getting the right test can provide relief and direction for treatment.
