Actually, evidence abounds. Not just from infections caught early in life, but later ones as well. Most of these go unsuspected, undiagnosed, and misdiagnosed when frequently unreliable lab tests show negative. I don't know what the percentage is, but I am sure there is a percentage of the pbabble population where this issue is of direct involvement in their protracted refractory psych issues.
