The conditions are called PANS and PANDAS, which stand for Pediatric Acute-onset Neuropsychiatric Syndrome (PANS) and Pediatric Autoimmune Neuropsychiatric Disorder Associated with Streptococcal Infections (PANDAS), respectively. They are estimated to affect one in 200 US children – and this figure may be conservative and be on the increase.

They could have new and intense concerns about things being disordered or uneven, or find themselves struggling with schoolwork.
