Schrag A et al. – The present study does not support a strong relationship between streptococcal infections and neuropsychiatric syndromes such as obsessive–compulsive disorder and Tourette syndrome. However, it is possible that a weak association (or a stronger association in a small susceptible subpopulation) was not detected due to nondifferential misclassification of exposure and limited statistical power. The data are consistent with previous reports of greater rates of diagnosis of Tourette syndrome or tics in white populations.
