I've seen multiple cases like this professionally, and they don't always have the typical PANDAS profile, either in terms of sequelae or putative causes. Kid gets illness, very clear signs (very high temperature for example), sometimes admitted, dramatic personality change afterward. The cases I remember most were around 7-12 but I recall one that was more around the age of 17.
It was unnerving for multiple reasons the first time I worked on these types of cases; one of those types of experiences that made me realize there's a fair amount of very serious illness out there that "goes under the radar" in the sense that there's serious consequences and little to no way to prevent it and poor understanding afterward of exactly what happened.
