  • Title: Obsessive compulsive behavior, hyperactivity, and attention deficit disorder in Sydenham chorea.
    Author: Maia DP, Teixeira AL, Quintão Cunningham MC, Cardoso F.
    Journal: Neurology; 2005 May 24; 64(10):1799-801. PubMed ID: 15911817.
    Abstract:
    The authors investigated obsessive-compulsive behavior, obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), and attention deficit and hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) in 50 healthy subjects, 50 patients with rheumatic fever without chorea, and 56 patients with Sydenham chorea. Obsessive-compulsive behavior, OCD, and ADHD were more frequent in the Sydenham chorea group (19%, 23.2%, 30.4%) than in the healthy subjects (11%, 4%, 8%) and in the rheumatic fever without chorea group (14%, 6%, 8%). ADHD was more common in persistent Sydenham chorea.
