Such a long story with so much "evidence" only to fall at the very basic hurdle of the very first anecdote. Untreated or not, no one has a strep infection for five months. So no matter what else, its at least not that which the antibiotics treated. If taken at face value, it seems more likely that its the anti-inflammatory properties of the antibiotic that helped. For context - the story and the condition and treatment seems quite similar to the story of chronic neuroborreliosis. Which has consistently failed to be detected and treated in replication studies.
- pas 5y ago.. yes! This was the biggest empirical component, and ... what's going on? If it is Strep. shouldn't it be visible in a CSF (spine fluid) sample? PCR? edit: https://www.pandasppn.org/flowchart https://www.pandasppn.org/flowchart seems pretty decent. the article paints an excessively mysterious picture, but this seems easy. also IVIG is relatively cheap and safe for kids and only one course is needed (and seems to work).
