Dr. Madeleine Cunningham speaking – European PANDAS Lake Como Conference 2015

September 26, 2015 @ 9:00 am - 12:00 pm

Free

Dr. Madeleine Cunningham will be speaking at the European PANDAS Lake Como Conference 2015 on Anti-neuronal Autoantibodies in PANS/PANDAS and Beyond – Saturday, September 26, 2015

Infectious disease specialists, psychiatrists, neurologists and pediatricians have long speculated on the etiology of an acute onset obsessive-compulsive disorder that affects children. The pervasive disorder is marked by a broad range symptom presentation that confounds the clinical community. Consequently PANDAS requires collaboration across disciplines. In recent years, several advances have been published to resolve confusion surrounding this affliction. In an effort to diffuse these advances, the European PANDAS Lake Como Conference 2015 convenes world experts in rheumatology, neurology, psychiatry and immunology to address the latest insights into the diagnosis and treatment protocol for PANDAS.
