Overview

Primary prevention of anti-NMDA encephalitis focuses on general measures to promote overall health and immune function, including a healthy lifestyle, good hygiene practices, and routine vaccinations. No specific preventive measures exist.

Primary Prevention

Primary prevention of anti-NMDA encephalitis involves strategies aimed at reducing the risk of developing the condition. Since the majority of cases are believed to be immune-mediated, there are no specific preventive measures established for anti-NMDA encephalitis. However, certain general practices can promote overall health and immune function, potentially reducing the risk of developing encephalitis. These include:

1. Maintaining a healthy lifestyle: Adopting a balanced diet, engaging in regular exercise, getting sufficient sleep, and managing stress can support a healthy immune system.

2. Good hygiene practices: Following proper hygiene practices, such as regular handwashing, can help prevent infections that could trigger an immune response leading to encephalitis.

3. Routine vaccinations: Staying up to date with recommended vaccinations can help prevent infectious diseases that may trigger an immune response and subsequently lead to encephalitis.
