Linking intranasal group A Streptococcus infection to CNS complications

New Study!!  Making some headway!!!
The findings may lead to a more definitive diagnostic test for PANDAS, which is currently diagnosed based on clinical symptoms and the presence of Strep A infection or autoantibodies against brain proteins. "We are also interested in exploring ways to treat the disorder by repairing the blood-brain barrier itself to prevent the entry of autoantibodies into the brain," said Dr. Agalliu.
