Özet
PANDAS (Streptokok ile ilişkili pediatrik otoimmün nöropsikiyatrik bozukluklar; paediatric autoimmune neuro-psychiatric disorders associated with Streptococci) streptokok enfeksiyonu ile ilişkili epizodik seyirli prepubertal ve ani başlangıçlı obsesif-kompülsif semptomlar ve/veya hareket bozukluklarını ifade eden bir terimdir. Bu yazıda pediatrist bakış açısıyla PANDAS kliniği ve tanı tedavide son bulgular gözden geçirilmiştir. (J Pediatr Inf 2012; 6: 101-5)
