Definitions
O PANS: According to NIMI, this is a newer
term used to describe the larger class of
acute- onset OCD. The abbreviation stands
for Pediatric Acute onset Neuropsychiatric
Syndrome and includes all cases of abrupt
OCD.
O In July 2010 at NIH, the diagnostic criteria
was changed so that a more rapid diagnosis
and treatment plan could be implemented.

Criteria for PANS
O 1. Abrupt, dramatic onset of OCD (including
severely restricted food intake)
O 2. Concurrent presence of additional
neuropyschiatric symptoms, with similarly
severe and acute onset, from at least two of
seven categories.
O 3. Symptoms are not better explained by
known neurological or medical disorders.

Diagnostic Work Up
O MRI scan
O Lumbar puncture
O EEG
O Laboratory studies to rule out infections or ongoing immunologic dysfunction
O Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate
O C- reactive protein
O Anti- streptococcal antibody titers
O Anti- nuclear antibody titers
![Page 9: P.A.N.D.A.S. and PANS](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022052313/58a01f061a28abd8728b522d/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Treatment of PANDAS
O Symptomatic treatment of OCD symptoms
