8. What is the mechanism behind this phenomenon? At present, it is unknown
9. The children usually have dramatic, "overnight" onset of symptoms, including motor or vocal tics, obsessions, and/or compulsions .
10. Is there a test for PANDAS? No. The diagnosis of PANDAS is a clinical diagnosis, which means that there are no lab tests that can diagnose PANDAS
11. The treatments for children with PANDAS are the same as if they had other types of OCD or tic disorders. Children with OCD, regardless of whether or not their illness is strep triggered, benefit from cognitive behavioral therapy and/or anti-obsessional medications. At this time, however, there isn't enough evidence to recommend the long-term use of antibiotics.
