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.
