Treating PANS/PANDAS

Posted by bajjerfan @bajjerfan, Feb 27 6:15pm

Are there any physicians at Mayo that treat adolescent with PANS/PANDAS?

It can be a result of post COVID complications.

PANS (Pediatric Acute-Onset Neuropsychiatric Syndrome) and PANDAS (Pediatric Autoimmune Neuropsychiatric Disorders Associated with Streptococcal Infections) are conditions characterized by sudden onset of neuropsychiatric symptoms in children.

The only doctor in the area who can prescribe ivig therapy is retiring and it would be nice to have an alternative if more such therapy is indicated.

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Post-COVID Recovery & COVID-19 Support Group.

I have been told that you have better luck connecting with a MD if you describe the illness as autoimmune encephalopathy rather than PANS/PANDAS.
