Edit request on 26 February 2012 Pediatric acute onset neuropsychiatric syndrome PANS is a syndrome in which children have abrupt dramatic onset of Tourette s Syndrome obsessive compulsive disorder OCD or anorexia nervosa coincident with the presence of two or more neuropsychiatric symptoms It is believed that these children experience a rise in dopamine levels as a result of a of cross reactive anti neuronal antibodies triggered by streptococcal or mycoplasma infection The cross reaction is believed to cause such side effects as tics No 1 You are misreading the source Tics are hypothetically a feature of PANS but you ve extended that to TS which misses the whole point of the PANS hypothesis PANS is hypothetically posed as a condition in which symptoms are not better explained by another condition such as Tourette s so your text is wrong Second there is exactly one paper written about PANS it is a proposal see WP RECENTISM and there is no reason to include speculative text in a Featured article If more papers are published and if PANS gains some widespread medical consensus and if secondary reviews discuss it then you might propose accurate text here discussing the situation I m a bit concerned that you are editing both PANDAS and PANS and yet your definition of the hypothetical PANS above does not seem to match the cited source which discusses abrupt onset of OCD Furthermore PANS is proposed for research purposes until there is more coverage it doesn t belong in this an unrelated article Talk See above SHOOS
