This schematic diagram based on our mouse studies captures beautifully what may be happening in the brains of children with post-infectious BGE (PANDAS/PANS). Our human sera cytokine profiling and genetic studies support this model.

If you see a child with a sudden and dramatic onset of unwanted thoughts, fears, rituals, #OCD, and a decline in #mentalhealth, consider #PANS/#PANDAS. #Strep or another #infection may be triggering the symptoms and distress.

For those physicians who still think that mouse genetic models of disease are not worthy, we have identified genetic risk factors in children that predispose to PANDAS after S. pyogenes infections.

All PANS PANDAS patients, no matter the severity, need prompt appropriate treatment. It is not appropriate to prescribe inadequate treatments and “wait and see”. Patient’s futures and lives are at stake. #PANSfacts
