title: Postfebrile depressive reaction in children.
abstract: Seventy-nine cases of one specific type of depressive reaction in children who had mild fever during or just prior to the episode of depression were studied during a period of 16 years between 1968 and 1984. Comparison of the observed group with the control groups established the specificity of the episode depression with only one type of fever which was most probably of viral origin.
