We also observed that POTS was more likely observed during a PANS flare. It is interesting that immune dysfunction, which is present in PANS, may be implicated in some individuals with PANS and POTS.READ FOR FREEA Conversation with Stanford’s Jennifer Frankovich, MD, MSPost Infectious Inflammatory Brain Disorders and PANS/PANDASDr. Frankovich is a Clinical Professor in the Department of Pediatrics, Division of Allergy, Immunology Rheumatology at Stanford University/Lucile Packard Children’s Hospital and Co-director of Stanford’s Immune Behavioral Health Clinic.WATCH NOWPANS/PANDAS RESEARCH AND LITERATUREPANS Research Consortium diagnostic and treatment guidelines.
