hello
this is a good question as T. gondi has been loosely implicated in neurologic and mental illnesses. high IgG in T. gondi in OCD has been reported so i would check with an infectious disease specialist to rune this out. there are more and more data about the role of infectious illnesses in OCD and other mental health disorders. go a Google search for PANS and PANDAS for more information. also, the IOCF web site has a lot of information: www.ocfoundation.org.
all best wishes,
