Eight Cases of Pediatric Acute-Onset Neuropsychiatric Syndrome with Inflammatory Bowel Disease: Immunologic Intersections was published in a Special Issue of Developmental Neuroscience based on the Inflammatory Brain Disorders Conference.

“Abstract: The triad of PANS, joint complaints, and family history of autoimmunity, including psoriasis, may represent a subset of PANS at heightened risk for IBD and additional immune-mediated disorders. For children with this triad, clinicians should have a low threshold to evaluate for gastrointestinal inflammation with biomarkers like hemoglobin, CRP, f***l calprotectin, and diagnostic endoscopy when indicated. PANS symptoms may improve with effective treatment of IBD. The high prevalence of joint complaints in our cohort and psoriasis in first-degree family members suggests this subset of PANS may share immune mechanisms with psoriasis and arthritis. Treatment strategies used in IBD and arthritis should be studied for potential application in PANS.”
