Pediatric Autoimmune Neuropsychiatric Disorders with Streptococcus Infection

Abstract

Paediatric Autoimmune Neuropsychiatric Disorders Associated with Streptococcal Infections (PANDAS) is a unique syndrome which is associated with a recent infection caused by the group A b-haemolytic streptococcal bacteria. Although b-haemolytic streptococcal infection is prevalent in India, we are less aware of cases of PANDAS from the Indian subcontinent. We report a case of OCD who presented to us with features of PANDAS.
