Infectious Disease and Potential Impact on the Brain With Dr Michael Benros & Dr. Brian Fallon

Dr Michael Benros, MD and Dr Brian Fallon, MD discuss the potential link between infectious diseases and brain function. This information is critical for those who have been diagnosed with PANDAS or PANS, as well as their families.
PANDAS is short for Pediatric Autoimmune Neuropsychiatric Disorders Associated with Streptococcal Infections. A child may be diagnosed with PANDAS when: Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), tic disorder, or both suddenly appear following a streptococcal (strep) infection, such as strep throat or scarlet fever.

This is incredible information! Thank you! I’m curious as to why the research presented five years ago has still not been integrated into Borrelia diagnosis and treatment?
Edited to add: I should specify that I have not encountered practitioners who are incorporating this research - nor have my kids, or the people who I have spoken to who have Lyme Disease /Post Lyme Disease. Clearly there are those who are addressing this disease with the current research available. However, there are so few knowledgeable practitioners. For many of us, we are unable to afford to travel and pay for treatment as LD has affected our ability to function and work.
Thank you for dedication to this field of research - our community desperately needs you and you are so appreciated!
