PANDAS/PANS: Identifying Infectious Triggers
All healing journeys start with an accurate diagnosis.
With PANDAS/PANS, identifying initial and ongoing infectious triggers is essential to guide treatment.
- A*O and anti-DNAseB (Strep titers)
- Mycoplasma
- Lyme
- Other Tick-borne Illness
- EBV
- Bartonella
Other organisms depending on medical history and response to standard treatments
As always, algorithms and protocols are starting points. Dr. Adame and her team meet patients and their families where they are in their journey, whether the child's symptoms started just weeks earlier or they have already received the entire PANDAS protocol including IVIG. She will adjust the diagnostic strategy depending on previous work up completed, history, and treatment goals.
