TY - JOUR PY - 1993// TI - Pseudodisaster: a case of mass hysteria involving 19 schoolchildren JO - Pediatric emergency care A1 - Taylor, B. W. A1 - Werbicki, J. E. SP - 216 EP - 217 VL - 9 IS - 4 N2 - A case of mass hysteria involving 19 children has been presented. Our case demonstrated many of the common symptoms and vectors identified in the literature. No children were harmed, but significant health care dollars were spent ensuring their safety. Better education of child care personnel and preplanning by schools may reduce the frequency of this condition.
