Learn About Pediatric Autoimmune Neuropsychiatric Disorders Associated with Streptococcus Infections

What is the definition of Pediatric Autoimmune Neuropsychiatric Disorders Associated with Streptococcus Infections?
Pediatric autoimmune neuropsychiatric disorders associated with Streptococcus infections (PANDAS) is a neurological and psychiatric condition in which symptoms are brought on or worsened by a Streptococcal (strep) infection. PANDAS is a subtype of pediatric acute-onset neuropsychiatric syndrome (PANS). The main neuropsyciatric symptoms are the presence of obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) and/or tics (uncontrolled, sudden, repetitive movements or sounds), which are severe enough to interfere the ability to function. After the initial strep infection, subsequent flares can be associated with other infectious or environmental triggers. The underlying cause of PANDAS is unclear, but studies suggest that a strep infection causes an abnormal immune response resulting in neuropsychiatric symptoms.
