Abstract

Gilles de la Tourette and obsessive-compulsive disorder are neuropsychiatric disorders of unknown cause in childhood period. The aim of the study is to compare of antibody presence to C.neoformans that is “dormant” infectious agent in immunocompetent hosts, between obsessive-compulsive disorder and Gilles de la Tourette. C.neoformans antibodies were found in 6 out of 38 (15.7%) patients and 4 out of 35 (11.4%) healthy volunteers (p>0.05). Our results showed that C.neoformans antibodies in obsessive-compulsive disorder and Gilles de la Tourette sydrome are not different from normal population.

Özet

Çocukluk çağında Tourette sendromu ve obsesif kompulsif bozukluk nedeni bilinmeyen nöropsikiyatrik bozukluklardır. Bu çalışmanın amacı, immünsistemi sağlam konakta sessiz infeksiyon etkeni olarak bulunabilen Cryptococus neoformans’ın Tourette bozukluğu ve obsesif kompulsif bozukluk hastalarında antikorlarının varlığınıaraştırmaktır. Araştırmaya alınan 38 hastanın 6’sında (%15.7) C.neoformans antikorları saptanırken, kontrol olarak 35 sağlıklı gönüllünün 4’ünde (%11.4) antikor saptandı (p>0.05). Sonuç olarak Tourette bozukluğu ve obsesif kompulsif bozukluk tanılı hastalarda C.neoformans antikorları toplumdan farklı bulunmamıştır.
