- Looks at neurodevelopmental evolution and problems among 52 children with PANS who were Human Milk only (HMO), received formula, or had mixed feedings
-
PANS patients fed HMO reported fewer cases of growth problems, school performance problems or the need for school support, and a delay in the age of babbling/speaking compared to the other patients
- Further studies needed to investigate the mechanisms underlying PANS role HMO may play in their short- and long-term neurodevelopment
