    Sydenham chorea (SC) is a complication of a group A beta-haemolytic streptococcal infection which is characterised by involuntary, choreatic movements. There is a definitive link between SC and psychoses. Furthermore, patients with SC seem to run a greater risk of developing neuroleptic-induced movement disorders. In this case-study of a 19-year-old psychotic male with a history of SC, the authors illustrate that this complicates the treatment of a psychotic episode.
