The author describes the phenomenon of somatopsychic synergy as a variant of combination of somatic pathology in the form of adenovirus and coccal infections with subclinical affective syndromes of cyclothymic and schizophrenic nature which is exactly opposite to the synergy of somatic and psychic diseases denoted as "somatopsychic antagonism". In practice somatopsychic synergy is assessed as a complicated form disguising some subdepressive states. The main clinical criteria for the recognition of these states from the internist's view-point have been formulated.
