I have discovered there now appears to be a link between Streptococcal infection and OCD development in children. My wife had a heavy Strep infection 1 week after the birth. That is most likely what happened to your wife. This may turn out to be an autoimmune disorder similar to lupus or rheumatic fever. I am sorry you and your family have had to go through this ordeal.
Counseling is sometimes helpful for the family as well.
