See below and link: The hallmark trait for pandas is sudden acute and debilitating onset of intense anxiety and mood lability accompanied by obsessive compulsive-like issues and/or tics in association with a streptococcal-a (gabhs) infection that has occurred immediately prior to the symptoms. In addition to the link from dr. Avashi, i would recommend http://pandasnetwork.Org.
