PANS (Pediatric Acute-onset Neuropsychiatric Syndrome) and PANDAS (Pediatric Autoimmune Neuropsychiatric Disorders Associated with Streptococcal Infections) are both conditions characterised by a sudden onset of neuropsychiatric symptoms in children. Here’s a breakdown of each:

Sometime during a child's life they will have a fever! It is a sign of a good healthy immune system.
