PANDAS risk?

[Guest guest]

ok been doing some research on immune issues and wonder if any kids with PANDAS have been tested for full immune panels to see if this is one of the risk reasons.

i know our son reactedto th

Because IgG2 is important in response to polysaccharides, encapsulated bacteria (eg, H influenzae type b, S pneumoniae) are common causes of infection in these patients. Antibodies reactive with bacterial capsular antigens are thought to be predominantly of the IgG2 isotype. Patients may be unable to produce specific antibodies after immunization with purified polysaccharide antigens (eg, pneumococcal vaccine polyvalent [Pneumovax]). More than 10% of these patients also present with dermal or visceral vasculitis, and sequelae of pyogenic infections (ie, recurrent otitis or sinusitis) are common.

When deficiency of a single IgG subclass occurs (often IgG2), the patient may have a normal total IgG concentration and a defect in the production of specific immunoglobulins in response to immunization. The patient may be asymptomatic between episodes of acute infection, although even minor reductions in the total serum concentration can be associated with a deficiency of specific antibodies (eg, antibodies to bacterial polysaccharides) and increased risk of infection with Streptococcus pneumoniae, Haemophilus influenzae type b, and Staphylococcus aureus.

that can be a sign of allergies to what she is eating and unlikly strep.....or flareing yeast is another thing candy could do.....but strep isn't pasted by candy

I have not. Could I ask my ped or do we have to go to our DAN! ?

a ped can pull and IMMUNE panel total IGE, total IGG, and IGG subclasses is what to ask for. espeically since IF they are off they can account for vaccination reactions...would be an interesting study to do
