Progressive Multifocal Leukoencephalopathy (PML)
Progressive Multifocal Leukoencephalopathy (PML) is a severe, life-threatening condition that poses a particular risk for MS patients using immunosuppressive therapies. Awareness of the risk factors, regular monitoring, and open communication with healthcare providers are essential for MS patients considering or currently using these medications.

Pediatric Autoimmune Neuropsychiatric Disorder (PANDAS) and OCD
Understanding PANDAS and its connection to OCD not only aids in the effective treatment of affected children but also provides a broader insight into the ways in which immune responses can impact mental health. As research progresses, it is hoped that more definitive answers and improved therapeutic options will emerge, further bridging the gap between physical and mental health in pediatric care.
