4th International Conference on
NEUROLOGY AND NEUROIMMUNOLOGY
Notes:
Autoimmune Encephalitis or pediatric autoimmune
neuropsychiatric disorders associated with streptococcal
infections (or PANDAS) is a disease that commonly has an
epitope association with Streptococcus pyogenes (group A
streptococci). The molecular memory between strep surface
proteins and lysogangliosides, tubulin, pyruvate kinase,
enolase, basal ganglia, dopamine D1, D2, Rapid strep or throat
culture, ASO titers, DNase antibodies, Myelin basic protein
antibodies, Alpha and beta Tubulin, Asiaganglioside , Cerebellar
antibodies, Synapsin antibodies, GAD-65 antibodies, Dopamine
D1 receptor antibodies, Dopamine D2 receptor antibodies,
Lysogangliosides antibodies and CaM Kinase II antibodies are
an important immunological component of understanding this
disease. Looking at the interaction between the immune system
and the brain and the basal ganglionic circuitry is imperative
when discussing hyper and hypokinetic disorders. Diagnosis,
management and outcomes of beta retrospective early
analyses is will be discussed while looking at the exploration
or two arms trials that are blinded, placeboed and controlled.
These antibodies in the brain create a probability of generating
tics, obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD) and its relationship to
Sydenham chorea (SC), which is the neurologic manifestation
of acute rheumatic fever. Other cognitive and movement
manifestations may develop in someone afflicted with the
condition.
