The IgNiTE Study

A study testing a new treatment for children with encephalitis.

The Department of Paediatrics at the University of Oxford, in collaboration with NHS Trusts across the United Kingdom, is currently running a study for hospitalised children with encephalitis. The study will assess whether a treatment called intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIg, sometimes referred to as antibody treatment) has any benefit for these children when given early during the hospital admission.
