- From juvenile parkinsonism to encephalitis lethargica, a new phenotype of post-streptococcal disorders: case report.Publication . Beleza, P; Soares-Fernandes, J; Jordão, MJ; Almeida, FWe report the case of a 16-year-old boy presented with a mild akinetic-rigid parkinsonism shortly after a post-streptococcal infection. After stopping corticoids, he had a rapid neurological deterioration to a fatal encephalitis lethargica-like syndrome. Serum analysis demonstrated consistently elevated anti-streptolysin-O. This case illustrates a new severe phenotype in the spectrum of the post-streptococcal disorders. This etiology should be considered in the differential diagnosis of a movement disorder with a rapid detrimental evolution.
