 ==Starting discussion regarding the article == 
 * Item 1: It relies largely or entirely upon a single source. 
 There's some validity to this objection.  The new name certainly can cause confusion.  PANDAS has been in some debate since the 1998 introduction of the term.  The term PANS is relatively new (9 months) and represents the consensus outcome of a June 2011 workshop at the NIH that is summarized in month's issue of Pediatics and Therapeutics (see http://intramural.nimh.nih.gov/pdn/PANDAS-to-PANS2012.pdf) and summarized on the NIMH website (see http://intramural.nimh.nih.gov/pdn/web.htm) that was trying to resolve debates regarding PANDAS. The new name was used to separate etiology from clincial presentation due to difficulties comparing studies that did not use similar criteria.  

 Before trying to address further issues, is the proposal for deletion because of disagreement with the finding, the recentness of the paper, or that the separation of clinical presentation from etiology is an issue?  Just want to make sure I address each concern before moving onto the next one.    20:37
