Long term impact of PIMS-TS We are focusing in this section on the research into the long-term clinical impact of PIMS-TS. The follow up care section (LINK) talks more about short to medium term symptoms following PIMS-TS, the psychological impact to both children and families and the children who have gone on to suffer organ damage, or infection-induced autoimmune conditions such as PANS or PANDAS.
As all these documents attest, it is clear that continued follow up of children with PIMS-TS is vital to chart the course of this COVID linked syndrome. We hope that the necessary funding will be made available for this, both in the UK and elsewhere and that international collaboration will continue.
