title: Pharmacologic agents for pediatric neuroimmune disorders.
abstract: Autoimmune diseases make up a significant portion of the acute and chronic caseload of all pediatric neurologists. By comparing these diseases and their treatments side by side, common themes become evident. Therapeutic decisions follow patterns dependent on the clinical situation. Physicians must adapt therapy based on individual clinical responses. This article provides an overview of the current therapeutic options as they relate to the more common pediatric neuroimmune disorders.
