Department of Psychiatry, University of Occupational and Environmental Health, Kitakyushu, Japan.

Recurrent episodes of depression accompanied by mild hypersomnia after each respiratory tract infection in an adolescent girl, 10 years old at the first onset, are described. Each episode lasted about 1 week, and she had 11 such episodes up to the age of 14 years, when lithium was prescribed. While on lithium, she suffered three times from febrile and once from afebrile upper respiratory tract infection, but these episodes were not followed by depression or hypersomnia.
