Conclusions: This case underscores the importance of considering infectious etiologies in the differential diagnosis of sudden-onset psychiatric symptoms in pediatric patients. The positive response to Sertraline and the proposed CBT highlights the potential benefits of a combined pharmacological and therapeutic approach in managing OCD and anxiety disorders. Continued follow-up and treatment adaptation is essential to ensure sustained improvement and quality of life for pediatric patients with similar presentations.
