Symptoms Of PANDAS

PANDAS refers to pediatric autoimmune neuropsychiatric disorders associated with streptococcus. The syndrome occurs when there are substantial changes in a child's movement, behavior, or personality following a strep infection, which is caused by the streptococcus bacteria. It's possible for these infections to be as minor as a sore throat or as major as scarlet fever or strep throat. These infections are contracted when another infected individual sneezes or coughs in the general vicinity or another person. The vast majority of individuals affected by a strep infection end up making a complete recovery with little or no residual side effects.
