PANDAS (Pediatric Autoimmune Neuropsychiatric Disorders Associated with Streptococcus) is a condition where a strep infection, such as strep throat, triggers sudden changes in behavior, personality, and movement in children. The immune system mistakenly attacks parts of the brain in response to the infection, causing neuropsychiatric symptoms. PANDAS typically affects children aged 3-12 and occurs within four to six weeks after a strep infection. Research is ongoing, and its recognition as a distinct disorder is still debated.
