                                 BILL NUMBER:  S5750

 TITLE OF BILL :  An act to amend the public health law, in relation
to including information on pediatric acute-onset neuropsychiatric
syndrome in the health care and wellness education and outreach
program

 PURPOSE :

This bill includes information on pediatric acute-onset
neuropsychiatric syndrome (PANS) in the health care and wellness
education program.

 SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS :

Section 1 amends subdivision 1 of section 207 of the public health law
by adding paragraph (n) in the health care and wellness education
program to include pediatric acute-onset neuropsychiatric syndrome.
The program shall include an advisory council under this section that
shall include representatives of people with pediatric acute-onset
neuropsychiatric syndrome and their families and health care providers
who specialize in treating such syndrome, among others.

 JUSTIFICATION :

Pediatric acute-onset neuropsychiatric syndrome (PANS) is a

misdirected immune response, often with an encephalitic onset, which
negatively affects neurologic functioning, resulting in a rapid, acute
onset of OCD, restricted food intake or tics along with other
neuropsychiatric conditions. While there is some education focused on
PANS, it is important to provide additional avenues for New Yorkers to
increase awareness and early detection through education.

Through education and awareness, PANS will be more effectively
combatted by New York State. With the help of an advisory council,
there will be an increase in the number of early detections of PANS,
which will limit the danger to this disease.

Treating PANS must be carried out thoroughly to yield positive
results. Symptoms often begin to improve within one week of antibiotic
treatment. However, further interventions are often required to fully
heal the underlying causes and alleviate all the symptoms. If treated
promptly and thoroughly, symptoms can remit completely. If left
untreated and symptoms persist, permanent neurological injury can
occur.

 LEGISLATIVE HISTORY :

New Bill.

 FISCAL IMPLICATIONS :

None.

 EFFECTIVE DATE :
Immediately.
