The following case may prove interesting to readers who treat hyperkinetic children.

The patient, a 7-year-old boy, was noted to be hyperactive at school. He was easily distractible during group activity, easily frustrated, and under achieving despite above average intelligence. He also had a cough for several days.

Physical examination revealed a quite hyperactive male unable to sit still or concentrate on tasks for more than 15 to 20 seconds. Other than this, neurological examination was within normal limits.
