Infections and Immunity

This section brings together infectious processes and related immune responses that parents may investigate as possible explanations of a child's condition or manifestations.

It may include viral, bacterial, fungal and parasitic infections, immune dysregulation, autoimmune processes, inflammation, allergic reactions, mast cells and PANS/PANDAS.

Methods used to investigate these topics belong under “Assessments”, while interventions belong under “Therapies”. Overlapping topics are linked across sections without duplication.
