"Seven of 10 term babies with neonatal Early-Onset Group B Streptococcal infection (EOGBS) were born to mothers who screened negative. No change was detected in rates of EOGBS over time and no difference in EOGBS in babies of screened and unscreened populations. Limitations of universal screening suggest alternatives be considered."

Hi! English is not my first language, sorry for any mistakes!
I've just found out that tics can be associated with streptococcal infections in childhood, but I'm not understading if this diagnosis is for children only, who had a infection recently, or if it can be the cause for tics in adulthood also. Does anyone know?
I got sick a lot during my early childhood and have tics since I was maybe 5, 6, 7? I have no idea of the exact age, I just know that I had tics when I was kid, but they weren't so bad. I don't think I had tics in my pre-teens, just like when I was really bored/waiting and stuff I did some muscles contraction, but I had a really bad phase when I was 14/15 to 16, and then they toned down again till the pandemic came and here I am again, in my early 20s, with tics from my forehead to my toes that I really *really* hate. I also got recently diagnosed with ADHD (also have anxiety and obssessive-compulsive behaviors) so I'm on vyvanse, which is working great for a lot of stuff, but my tics have gotten worse, like there are days that are kind of ok and there are days where I go to sleep with joint pain in my fingers and toes. I'm don't have an appoinment with my doctor this month so I'm searching about tics till I go to an appoinment and talk to him, I just really want to find out WHY I have those terrible tics and how I can make them stop (which I'm not saying I'm gonna self-diagnoses or anything, I'm just searching about it because this is all I can do in the moment and it will help me discuss with my doctor what might be the cause).
A streptease.
Does anyone have experience working with a learner diagnosed with PANDAS? If so, would you be willing to share anything that was different about the case from others on your caseload and/or what you found was particularly important to do or focus on in ABA treatment? (If you have never heard of this, here is a fact sheet from NIMH that I just read: https://www.nimh.nih.gov/health/publications/pandas/index.shtml )
Hey there, my 10 year old brother, about 130cm and idk, 30 kg, normal sized, otherwise healthy Caucasian (we're from Slovakia) has been sick for 3 weeks now, and results show both staphylococcal and streptococcal infections (one in the tonsils, one in the nasal cavity). The only common antibiotic against them is flucloxacillin, apparently used as a last-resort and can potentially harm children. My question is, what treatment would you prefer, antibiotic-wise? Combine two, use the flucoxacilin or not use any? If we do combine antibiotics, won't his intestine be devastated and eventually putrefying bacteria get the advantage? Our GP isn't convinced of either solution so I'm wondering if any of you encountered something like this?
Thanks in advance guys
