Divya Raj T, Santosh H, Chaturvedi S. 589 An unusual case of Pediatric Autoimmune Neuropsychiatric Disorders Associated with Streptococcal infections(PANDAS) – diagnostic evaluation, treatment and the remarkable outcome

“Conclusion Our observation in this case confirms the value of early diagnosis to reduce the risk of progression to disabling chronic neurologic sequelae in the PANDAS. Children with PANDAS derive a favourable response to IVIG. Our findings support its administration early in the course of the disease and continued until significant improvement or remission is achieved without side-effects.”
