| Popis: | A delayed-speech case was present in which the patient, a male with fair skin, blonde hair and blue eyes was given a histidine loading test. The patient was about two and a half when the test was administered. The test yielded results consistent with increased histidine. The patient was not producing any consonant sounds at this age and only limited vowel sounds. At the age of three, the patient was placed on a low histidine diet. After being on the diet for a month another test was administered and the results showed no appreciable level of histidine. During the next few months the patient appeared to develop more interest in producing words and more consonant sounds are now being used. More spontaneous words were produced and his overall language development has improved. He is enrolled in a language development program and his progress has been satisfactory. |
