Dear Badri, Thank you for your reply. I know that Flu in children on its own causes visual hallucinations and changes in mental status. That was delirium? Psychomotor agitation? But Dr. Roku HAMA, who might be subscriber of this discussion list, suggested Tamiflu must be the causative agent of the abnormal behaviors of these 2 cases. I cannot understand the psychopathology of these cases. Why they were "jumped over a guardrail" or "plunged"? What inner experiences forced them dash out? Why they didn't cut themselves or hurt others? Flu or Tamiflu might cause visual hallucination, but this couldn't explain the reason why these 2 young people did same behabior-"jumped "or "plunged". Did they feel something chasing them? Did they hear someone calling them? Did they feel abrupt thirst or burning sense of surface of their bodies? Does any one experience resembling cases of rashing out or dive by the same causative agent? Dr. HAMA is one of rare experts of pharmacoepidemiology with analytical ability in Japan. warmest regards SAIO *********************************************************** Takeo SAIO, M.D. 1067-1 Kawashimata, Gotenba, Shizuoka, 412-0045, Japan Fuji Toranomon Health Promotion Center Tel: +81-550-89-5633, FAX: +81-550-89-5663 e-mail: [log in to unmask] ***********************************************************
