Can non-group A strep be a factor in PANDAS? While most traditional "strep throat" is group A, my daughter has tested positive for non-group A and we've seen a big difference with a basic 10-day course of antibiotics. While she is quick to respond, our 10-year-old son was not as fortunate. He was diagnosed with PANDAS when he was 8 and has been doing very well since removal of tonsils and adenoids when he was 9. From time to time we see OCD/anxiety that were part of his PANDAS presentation, but those symptoms generally pass, sometimes without antibiotics. Has anyone has experience with PANDAS that has involved non-group A strep, and if so, what was your course of treatment (antibiotics - what type?)?
