Abstract excerpt
Pediatric Autoimmune Neuropsychiatric Disorders Associated with Streptococcal Infections (PANDAS) is characterized by prepubertal abrupt onset of obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). The sine qua non is group A streptococcus (GAS) infection, which is hypothesized to elicit an IgG-class anti-GAS antibody response that cross-reacts with antigens in the basal ganglia.
