Autoimmune and neurological conditions amongst children are on the rise. Paediatric Autoimmune Neuropsychiatric Disorder Associated with Streptococcus (PANDAS) and Paediatric Acute-Onset Neuropsychatric Syndrome (PANS) are two disorders affecting a growing number of families. They present as a deeply complex network of symptoms for the practitioner to unravel and this is what paediatrician and "Holistic Mama Doc" Dr Elisa Song specialises in. This is a huge topic and will be covered in two-parts. Today, Dr Song will take us on a complex journey, to elucidate what PANDAS/PANS is, who is at risk and how to identify and test for them. As a paediatric physician in clinical practice, Dr Song has a wealth of information to share with her obvious passion for preventative healthcare using functional medicine.
