Dr. Elizabeth Latimer
DC area families along with PANDAS Network.org’s Scientific Advisory Board member, Dr. Elizabeth Latimer, are featured in NBC Washington’s Could Strep Throat Cause OCD?
The news segment visits two families diagnosed with PANDAS and features an interview with Dr. Latimer. Dr Latimer, who has treated 100+ PANDAS cases in the DC area, explains the possible reasons why PANDAS may develop. They may be genetic and/or a severe strain of strep. Examples of symptoms and treatments are also discussed. Overall, this is a great news piece. Thank you to all that participated.
