Mysterious illness in LeRoy, N.Y. takes a strange new twist...
Doctor: Two LeRoy girls with Tourette-like symptoms are "all better"
For the first time since more than a dozen teens and one adult came down with a mysterious illness in LeRoy, there's good news about the case.
McVigh credits the treatment for conversion disorder, which includes behavior modification, psychological help and medication. But some parents are giving credit to a doctor, Dr.Rosario Trifiletti, a child neurologist from new Jersey.
Trifiletti diagnosed eight of the girls with a PANDAS-like illness, and prescribed antibiotics. Some say it's those girls who are getting better.
While there seems to be a difference of opinion on who is actually getting better and what treatment is working best, most people are happy to hear the people with symptoms are improving. The hope is they all get back to normal, and life in the village gets back to normal.

Two separate doctors treating different girls who are both crediting seperate diagnosis with seperate treatments; yet everyone is getting better?!
Odd.
