[QUOTE="gcvmom, post: 144398, member: 3444"] Not to alarm you, but strep has been proven to be the culprit of psychiatric issues in susceptible people. My difficult child 2 is one of those lucky few, and developed Sydenham's chorea and what looked like Early Onset Bi-Polar (EOBP) because of a past strep infection. In his case, the symptoms didn't appear for nearly a year and a half, but his neurologist feels pretty confident in his diagnosis because of the timing of his symptoms' onset. Someone else here has posted about PANDAS (sorry can't remember who), which is another strep-related diagnosis that is gaining acceptance, albeit slowly, in the medical community. It all boils down to immune-dysfunction in the wake of infection, and the unfortunate target is the brain. [/QUOTE]
