AlwaysWorriedMom 1 Posted October 6, 2020 Report Share Posted October 6, 2020 Has anyone’s PANDAS kid contracted COVID 19? If so, please describe symptoms and what happened afterwards in as much detail as possible. I’m sure I’m not the only one worried about what will happen to my PANDAS son should he get Covid.

PANDADDY 0 Posted February 24 Report Share Posted February 24 Has no one responded to this message? Looking for any PANDAS parents with COVID experiences. Research, studies, feedback appears to be non-existent at this time. Link to post Share on other sites
Cmac 6 Posted March 17 Report Share Posted March 17 I’m sorry! I’m not on this board much anymore or would have answered sooner. Yes, my son has PANS and also caught Covid last March (in 2020). His symptoms were light compared to mine and my husband’s. However about 8-10 weeks later he started showing PANS symptoms again—mainly intrusive thoughts. (His first PANS exacerbation started in August 2018). Checked blood levels and not only did he have Covid antibodies but also his strep titers had gone up again after having been low for so long (he has not had strep since his initial exacerbation in August 2018). A 6 day steroid burst ended this flare. Let me know if I can answer any other questions. Hope your child is doing better. Link to post Share on other sites
