Abstract
Allergic children may suffer from a primary allergy-induced behavior disorder. Although the patterns of such behavior disorders may be varied, the essential elements are tension and fatigue. On the one hand, allergic tension includes in its scope various manifestations of increased neuropsychic activity, both motor and sensory. On the other hand, allergic fatigue represents neuropyschic depression. Victims of allergic tension and fatigue ordinarily present other evidences of allergy. However, allergic fatigue and allergic tension may occur as the sole manifestations of allergy, and may be associated with a variety of constitutional manifestations. Any child suffering from the allergic tension-fatigue syndrome should be given relief by proper application of allergic principles in diagnosis and treatment.Keywords
