UA-CPAE -Pediatric Acute-onset Neuropsychiatric Syndrome (PANS) & Pediatric Autoimmune Neuropsychiatric Disorders Assoc w/Streptococcal Infections

2019

The overarching ADHS and ABRC goal for this project is to accelerate promising research and improve the health of patients with PANS/PANDAS. The University of Arizona, Department of Pedatrics Dr. Sydney Rice (Developmental Pediatrics) and Dr. Michael Daines (Allergy/Immunology and Rheumatology) are the lead investigators for the Arizona partner site of the PANS/PANDAS national collaboration under the direction of Dr. Sue Swedo at the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH), Pediatrics and Developmental Neuroscience Branch. The group is developing national data collection standards for identifying, tracking, and treating individuals with PANS/PANDAS and UA Pediatrics is one of the designated sites. Partnering with ABRC to expand our NIMH collaboration efforts would expand and accelerate our efforts towards a deeper understanding of the mechanisms and outcomes related to PANS/PANDAS to improve treatment strategies and improve overall health and wellness for these children and their families
