-Abstract +
-OBJECTIVE: +
-To explore associated clinical factors in children with pediatric autoimmune neuropsychiatric disorders associated with streptococcal infections (PANDAS). +
-STUDY DESIGN:+
 Children with tics, obsessive-compulsive disorder, or both (n=109) were examined with personal and family history, diagnostic interview, physical examination, medical record review, and measurement of baseline levels of streptococcal antibodies. Children with tics, obsessive-compulsive disorder, or both (n=109) were examined with personal and family history, diagnostic interview, physical examination, medical record review, and measurement of baseline levels of streptococcal antibodies.
-RESULTS:+ 
 Significant group differences were found on several variables, such that children in whom PANDAS (versus without PANDAS) were more likely to have had dramatic onset, definite remissions, remission of neuropsychiatric symptoms during antibiotic therapy, a history of tonsillectomies/adenoidectomies, evidence of group A streptococcal infection, and clumsiness. Significant group differences were found on several variables, such that children in whom PANDAS (versus without PANDAS) were more likely to have had dramatic onset, definite remissions, remission of neuropsychiatric symptoms during antibiotic therapy, a history of tonsillectomies/adenoidectomies, evidence of group A streptococcal infection, and clumsiness.
-CONCLUSION: + 
-The identification of clinical features associated with PANDAS should assist in delineating risks for this subtype of obsessive-compulsive disorder/tics. +

-Pediatric autoimmune neuropsychiatric disorders associated with Streptococcus in identical siblings. +Termed pediatric autoimmune neuropsychiatric disorders associated with Streptococcus (PANDAS), these cases of childhood-onset obsessive compulsive disorder and tic disorders resemble the presentation of Sydenham chorea, in that they have an acute onset following a group A beta-hemolytic streptococcal infection (group A Streptococcus), with accompanying neurological signs, and an episodic or sawtooth course. Familial associations of this subgroup of patients remain understudied.

-Abstract +Despite identical genetics, presentations showed marked variation across siblings (from a full PANDAS presentation to asymptomatic). Further research into environmentally driven influences such as postinfectious molecular mimicry and epigenetic factors that may influence the manifestation of these pediatric neuropsychiatric disorders will promote our understanding of their prevention and treatment.   (({{pubmed>long:21486169}}))

 My 15 yr.old daughter who also like myself, has neuro-lyme disease, was significantly affected with OCD, incapacitated as a matter of fact. Treatment with minocycline has been a godsend for her, she is doing 80% better, and we expect the improvement to continue as she introduces more/differing abx to kill the occult bacteria. It was suspected that she contracted PANDAS (pediatric autoimmune neuropsychiatric disorder associated with streptococcal infection) the year after becoming ill with Borreliosis, and this is what led to the increasing significant neuro-psychological difficulties she began having, in addition to her Borrelia symptoms. My 15 yr.old daughter who also like myself, has neuro-lyme disease, was significantly affected with OCD, incapacitated as a matter of fact.
