emma1 Posted October 22, 2009 Report Share Posted October 22, 2009 Did anyone else see the JAMA article published today that claims the following: Group A streptococcal infections do not appear to trigger Tourette syndrome (TS) or obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), according to a case-control study by researchers in England, a finding at odds with some smaller studies conducted in the United States (Schrag A et al. Neurology. doi:10.1212/WNL.0b013e3181bd10fd [published online ahead of print September 30, 2009])? I (of course) totally disagree! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sf_mom Posted October 22, 2009 Report Share Posted October 22, 2009 What a waste of time and money for that study.... they went into a database of records looking for documentation of strep infections prior to onset of OCD and Tourette's. Just another way to deny people help! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
