really good Lyme/PANDAS article

[EAMom]

it doesn't discuss kids having both Lyme and PANDAS together.

 

Otherwise it is a really good review article: http://www.dovepress.com/lyme-disease-and-pediatric-autoimmune-neuropsychiatric-disorders-assoc-peer-reviewed-article-IJGM

 

here's a quote:

"Understanding LD and PANDAS begins with knowledge of

their respective infectious agents. Although B. burgdorferi

and GAβHS are vastly different microorganisms, their ability

to evade the immune system and invade a wide variety of

tissues, including the coveted central nervous system (CNS),

is a paradigm of survival. The mechanism with which it then

results in diverse somatic symptoms and neuropsychiatric

sequelae underscores the need for experienced clinicians,

laboratory testing, and early treatment."
