Lauren Johnson, 12, hasn't been able to stop sneezing since suffering a bad cold in early November.

At a rate of about one every seven seconds, her only relief from the constant barrage came during sleep. (WATCH VIDEO: Girl's sneezing battle)

But a child neurologist has finally identified the condition that a string of baffled specialists were unable to pinpoint — diagnosing Lauren with Pediatric Autoimmune Neuropsychiatric Disorder Associated with Streptococcus, or PANDAS.

Dr. Rosario Trifiletti said the disorder usually occurs following a streptococcal infection such as a strep throat, Fox News reported.

Lauren has since been able to return to school following improvement induced by a course of antibiotics.

Symptoms of PANDAS include obsessive or compulsive behaviours, Tourette's syndrome and attention deficit disorder.
