NEW Medical Guidelines for PANDAS/PANS Announced

The PPN Diagnostics and Therapeutics Committee published a new, succinct guide to aid medical professionals in recognizing and evaluating possible PANDAS/PANS children.

Seeing Your First Child with PANDAS/PANS is a medical primer consisting of: overview and current theories, PANS diagnostic criteria and symptom descriptions, PANS workup recommendations, and setting family expectations.

Physicians and medical professionals can review and bookmark these recommendations at: https://www.pandasppn.org/seeingyourfirstchild/. Members can connect with peers and join discussions on the PPN Medical Professionals Forum when additional insight into unique cases is needed.

PPN Guidelines for Diagnostics and Therapeutics are developed by PPN committees and special advisors from the top academic medical institutions in the United States, including Harvard, Yale, Stanford, Columbia, Georgetown, NIH, and NIMH. Members of this elite group have worked with, treated, or studied the patients or aspects of the disorder.
