Nurses’ Role in PANS/PANDAS What role do nurses play in helping families with PANS/PANDAS? Nurses are an integral part of the team. Nurses are often the first point of contact during an office visit.

PANS PANDAS at School
School Impact PANS not only impacts the physical health of a student but also causes psychological, neurological, behavioral, and developmental difficulties. Symptomology and symptom severity vary from student to student and even from flare to flare in the same student. The goal of treatment is to achieve full recovery in order to prevent the student’s condition from becoming a chronic, debilitating illness. Treatment includes medical protocols as well as therapeutic practices.

Who Gets PANS PANDAS
Who Gets PANS/PANDAS? There is no age requirement for a PANS diagnosis. According to current PANS/PANDAS data, the average age of onset is between the ages of 3 and 13, but onset can happen in children younger than three years old and older than thirteen. A PANDAS diagnosis requires a prepubertal onset, but if a patient is postpubertal at symptom onset, then they would be diagnosed with PANS.
