This is an important paper to read in order to understand not only the biology of these receptors but also how autoantibodies against these receptors may trigger activation. #PANDAS #Sydenhamchorea

Please make sure you know the symptoms of sepsis- & if doctors are struggling to identify what’s wrong just ask the question: Could it be #sepsis ? I was treated for pneumonia for 3 weeks but kept getting sicker. Turns out was a kidney infection that had turned septic untreated

So brave of you to share your traumatic journey. As you say, could’ve been so different.

The @BBCNews coverage of #GroupAStrep is helpful: but what's really important is to educate about the associated risk of #sepsis as that's what endangers lives! Most of us have these bugs somewhere on us, it's when it becomes invasive we worry!

We are happy to share with you the exciting news that Congress has taken action on PANS/PANDAS! BIDEN has signed into law the 2023 omnibus appropriations bill which is another step forward towards our goal of significantly growing federal funding for NIH research
