A 5 yrs old child brought to the hospital with left sided facial tics, no vocal tics for 3-4 days.There was history of repeated sore throats and nasal blockage. ASO titers were more than 700. EEG- normal study, CT head- basal ganglia small calcifications. Patient improved with a 10 days course of antibiotics only. Can this patient be labelled as PANDAS {pediartic autoimmune neuropsychiatric disorder associated with streptococal infection?}
