Conclusion
No HLA allele association such as seen in children with narcolepsy after H1N1 immunisation could be confirmed in this group of children with PANS. However, more than half the group had a first‐degree relative with a diagnosed autoimmune disease.

“Post-infectious, autoimmune, and neuro-inflammatory events are the main mechanisms of Paediatric Acute-onset Neuropsychiatric Syndrome (PANS).4 PANS presents with a sudden onset of obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) or a severely restricted food intake, and concurrent neuropsychiatric symptoms and motor dysfunction.4 The estimated prevalence of OCD in childhood and adolescence is 0·25–4·00%, with those aged between 16–18 years (1%) having the highest prevalence.5, 6, 7 Here, we report on two unrelated children with PANS that started 2 weeks after a positive COVID-19 nasopharyngeal swab.”

“Conclusions: Based on our findings, there is a strong correlation between OCD and different inflammatory as well as rheumatological biomarkers. Such correlations have been demonstrated in both adult and pediatric populations. Future studies should examine the safety and efficacy of anti-inflammatory medications, especially NSAIDs, for the management and control of OCD symptoms in both adults and children, particularly in the early stages of the disease.”
