PANDAS
They say its a post strep infection
Like Sydenham’s Chorea or Rheumatic Fever
But this time affecting the brain
They say its a post strep infection
An antibody inflamed basal ganglia
Sudden onset tics, ocd, anxiety
They say its a post strep infection
My child cannot leave his room
No school, no friends, no fun
They say its a post strep infection
So what can I do
Antibiotics, IVIG, Plasmapheresis
They say its a post strep infection
Discovered by Swedo in 1998
But my child will still not eat.
They say its a post strep infection
Impacting the whole family
Untreated may last a lifetime.
