Good article!

I wanted to bring up this article originally posted by JMTho under "Medical Records," just in case anyone missed it.

My only objection in this article is the emphasis on penicillin. I'd balance it with this article, if I were talking to an MD and seeking antibiotic treatment:

Well, I object to the notion that strep carriage w/o symptoms is benign- it hasn't been the case for us.

Right... that, too. What I DID like, was the recommendation for long-term prophylaxis with antibiotics for PANDAS... from a cardiologist.

When I went after this article via the link, I got a "404 Error" and could not view it. Anybody have an actual copy of the article or maybe an alternate link?

 

Thanks!

I got that message, too. Then I went back to the original post in the Medical records thread and tried that and it worked. Try this:
