Additional Study Information:
After certain infections like strep throat, some children can develop sudden neuropsychiatric symptoms like OCD, anxiety, tics, problems eating and urinating, etc. The purpose of this study is to investigate whether Lyme disease can also cause the development of these sudden neuropsychiatric symptoms. Participation in this study consists of one 5-hour visit to our lab at Columbia University Medical Center, where we will collect blood and urine, perform neurocognitive testing, and complete a thorough physician evaluation. The in-person visit will be followed up with approximately 45 minutes of questionnaires that participants (and their parents, if under age 18) can complete at home on the computer. Participants will be compensated $50 for completing all study tasks.
