Alison Maclaine fears some children are being misdiagnosed with autism and mental health issues when they are really suffering an infection which can be treated simply with antibiotics.
Her eight-year-old son Jack suffered distressing personality changes and “lost a year of his life”.
And she said she was left “in despair” that she and her family had “no quality of life”.
Now Alison believes he was suffering from Paediatric Acute-onset Neuropsychiatric Syndrome (PANDAS), triggered by a streptococcal infection – a condition that can be treated with simple antibiotics and anti-inflammatories.
