The role of previous streptococcal infections in adult patients with obsessive-compulsive disorder: a research study
These results seem to suggest that OCD subjects with ASO titer-positivity show a chronic inflammatory state, in spite of no symptoms or recall of bacterial infections, that might be involved in both the onset and the maintenance of OCD, with immunological alterations being related to symptom dimension to be identified. They also support the notion of possible anti-inflammatory effects of some psychotropic compounds.
