Lancet 354:1153-1158, Perlmutter,S.J.,et al, 1999
See this aricle in Pubmed

Article Abstract
Plasma exchange and IVIG were both effective in lessening of symptom severity for children with infection-triggered OCD and tic disorders. Further studies are needed to determine the active mechanism of these interventions, and to determine which children with OCD and tic disorders will benefit from immunomodulatory therapies.
