Summary:The study evaluated specific actual psychological status in 34 children at the age from 9 to 12 years old at various stages before the start of anti-tuberculosis therapy. Manifestations of asthenia were observed in the field of the task performance and cognitive function: reduction in the scope and accuracy of the active attention, low tempo of task performance, exhaustion, anergia of mnestic function. In the actual emotional state the expressed stress, high level of excitation and neurophysic stress and low energetic potential were observed. On the average in 8 months of anti-tuberculosis therapy significant changes were observed including both positive and negative shifts in the psychological state of the children. The obtained data provide the evidence on the integral nature of disorders caused by synergy of biological and psychosocial factors.
