Neurological and neuropsychiatric symptoms are emerging as major long-term sequalae. In patients with pre-existing behavioral symptoms, such as individuals with autism spectrum disorders (ASD), the emergence of neuropsychiatric symptoms due to long COVID can be difficult to diagnose and manage. Herein, we present three ASD cases who presented with markedly worsening neuropsychiatric symptoms following COVID-19 exposure and subsequent difficulty in managing the post-COVID neuropsychiatric symptoms.

Implications: This project has implications for school nursing. The results of this project suggest that an interdisciplinary education program assisted school staff to increase their knowledge on PANDAS. An increase in knowledge about PANDAS may assist school staff to identify students who may be exhibiting PANDAS behaviors and better utilize district resources, including school nurses, who can assess and care for this student population. This interdisciplinary collaboration amongst school nurses, counselors, psychologists, and principals enhances the learning environment and helps strengthen the success of students at school (Johnson, 2017; Kocoglu & Emiroglu, 2017; NASN, n.d., 2017; Yoder, 2020). Students with chronic health conditions and concerning symptoms that necessitate primary or specialty health care referrals benefit from school nurse adoption of systematic referral documentation strategies.
