PANDAS/PANS and Other AE's Biological Basis of Anti Neuronal Targets and Cunningham Panel

This video is about the biological basis of autoimmune encephalitis (AE), which are a group of disorders that target the brain. The most common types of AE are PANDAS and PANS, which are caused by an autoimmune response to streptococcal infections. Other types of AE include anti-NMDA receptor encephalitis, anti-GAD65 encephalitis, and opsoclonus myoclonus syndrome (OMS).
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.
PANDAS Network is the leading national nonprofit organization for PANDAS/PANS/AE, and we’re dedicated to providing resources and support to families like yours who are living with this disorder

Glad this is online for all to see. We have had a child sick with PANDAS for over 7 years. It’s been up and down.

Hi I am dealing this with my 14 year daughter. Whole family is up side down. Just finished with the test praying 🙏 to god she recovers. Big concerns is ocd, behavior & eating disorder.

Will there be new better treatments for bacteria in the brain?
