About CPAE

Children’s Postinfectious Autoimmune Encephalopathy (CPAE) is a condition where an infection triggers an autoimmune reaction that targets the brain leading to changes in neurologic function, mood, and behavior. Also referenced as PANS (Pediatric Acute-onset Neuropsychiatric Syndrome) and PANDAS (Pediatric Autoimmune Neuropsychiatric Disorders Associated with Streptococcal infection), research in the field and the establishment of comprehensive treatment is in its preliminary stages but advancing worldwide.

How You Can Help

Please join our 2020 outreach and awareness efforts by:
  • Being an advocate. Tell a friend who tells a friend. Help spread awareness to families who are affected. There are many children suffering with misdiagnosed mental health conditions whose symptoms can be alleviated or cured.
  • Attend our first annual fundraising Topgolf event. The PACE Foundation allocates over 99% of its budget on research, advocacy, patient support, awareness, and outreach.
  • It is estimated that there are up to 4.6 million children in the United States, currently misdiagnosed with neuropsychiatric disorders, whose conditions are in fact affected by an autoimmune illness. Your support will have an immediate and long-lasting impact on millions of children and their families.
  • Support the effort that will make a generational impact on the future diagnosis and treatment of mental health illnesses caused by autoimmune dysfunction.
