Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder Obsessive Compulsion and Tics Linked to Sore Throats By Pauline Anderson The Medical Post, May 21, 1996 New York It's not all in their heads. Parents who suspected their child's strep throat caused subsequent development of obsessive compulsive (OC) or tic disorders can rest easy now that research finally confirms this relationship. The mounting evidence pointing to a link between group A Beta-hemolytic streptococci and these disorders could eventually lead to a means of identifying children at risk and the use of preventive therapy. The research is so convincing that Dr. Susan Swedo, acting scientific director at the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) and head of the NIMH's section on behavioral pediatrics, said she believes a throat culture is in order for both the child and family members when a child presents with acute onset or exacerbation of OC or tic symptoms. "Our studies and others on obsessive compulsive disorder are truly proof that these are neurobiological illnesses, that what was previously thought to be due to punitive toilet training is now known to be associated with changes in your brain chemicals, patterns of responsiveness of glucose metabolism, and now perhaps to be triggered by an autoimmune reaction."

Recipes for Kidney Patients Take Care of That Sore Throat When streptococcus invades the kidneys, it inflames the tiny filtering units, a condition called glomerulonephritis. Children with this complication will usually recover spontaneously. In adults, it can lead to permanent kidney failure. Fortunately, this development is extremely rare. If kidney disease does develop, symptoms can often be seen one to six weeks after the sore throat disappears. Signs of kidney disease include bloody or coffee-colored urine, fluid retention and high blood pressure. Urine tests may show protein or blood cells in the urine. People with strep throat can spread the disease to others until 24 hours after beginning treatment with an antibiotic. Ways to reduce the chances of spreading strep are to cover your mouth when coughing or sneezing; wash your hands after wiping or blowing your nose; and wash your hands before preparing food.
