[Results of studies with the Meyer-Probst Encephalopathy Questionnaire in children with normal behavior]. / Ergebnisse von Erhebungen mit dem Enzephalopathie-Fragebogen nach Meyer-Probst bei nicht-verhaltensauffalligen Kindern.

ABSTRACT

To diagnose encephalitis the 'Encephalitis-Fragebogen (E-F)' by Meyer-Probst is a valid instrument. The authors tested a large number of children without unadaptive or neurotic behaviour (4.5 to 11.9 years) with this instrument to define new standards. Parts of the results are presented. There are very significant differences between boys and girls. Considering the age, different standards are necessary only for boys. Using these new standards it is possible to avoid misinterpretation.
