Autoimmune encephalitis: The neuroimmunology of pediatric movement disorders and cognitive changes post infection: A functional integrative neurology approach

4th International Conference on NEUROLOGY AND NEUROIMMUNOLOGY
September 18-19, 2017 | Dallas, USA

Keynote: J Neurol Neurosci

Abstract:

Autoimmune Encephalitis or pediatric autoimmune neuropsychiatric disorders associated with streptococcal infections (or PANDAS) is a disease that commonly has an epitope association with Streptococcus pyogenes (group A streptococci). The molecular memory between strep surface proteins and lysogangliosides, tubulin, pyruvate kinase, enolase, basal ganglia, dopamine D1, D2, Rapid strep or throat culture, ASO titers, DNase antibodies, Myelin basic protein antibodies, Alpha and beta Tubulin, Asiaganglioside , Cerebellar antibodies, Synapsin antibodies, GAD-65 antibodies, Dopamine D1 receptor antibodies, Dopamine D2 receptor antibodies, Lysogangliosides antibodies and CaM Kinase II antibodies are an important immunological component of understanding this disease. Looking at the interaction between the immune system and the brain and the basal ganglionic circuitry is imperative when discussing hyper and hypokinetic disorders. Diagnosis, management and outcomes of beta retrospective early analyses is will be discussed while looking at the exploration or two arms trials that are blinded, placeboed and controlled. These antibodies in the brain create a probability of generating tics, obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD) and its relationship to Sydenham chorea (SC), which is the neurologic manifestation of acute rheumatic fever. Other cognitive and movement manifestations may develop in someone afflicted with the condition.
