New publication: OCD Related to Mycoplasma-Associated Autoimmune Encephalopathy with Basal

[kakrpa]

This was just published 2/12/16 about a 14 yo girl who came down with OCD and showed high myco p titers. I don't have access to read beyond the first page, where I believe they were going to start discussing treatment. Very interesting to see publications that address PANS and attribute its cause beyond that of strep to include viruses such as Mycoplasma pneumonia. Does anyone have access to this full article? Would love to read it in its entirety.

I'd love to hear the rest of this patient's story!

Small correction to what you said there - Mycoplasma's actually a bacterium, not a virus.

Sorry I can't help you get the full article, my student access to journals has run out now. I agree, good to hear studies are being done! Odd that there's no abstract (summary).

It looks like its not yet published yet in print, and this is an early online version. Perhaps there may be an abstract in the coming months available.
