While classification schemes of beliefs about adult folk illnesses are found in the literature on curanderismo, scant attention has been given to folk-related childhood illnesses, such as caida de la mollera (fallen fontanel), mal aigre (evil air), mal ojo (evil eye), susto (magical fright), and tirisia (anxiety). This paper reports results of a factor analysis of beliefs held by Hispanic women that are used to (1) examine how well patterns of childhood illnesses are described by classificatory schemes of adult folk illnesses; and (2) provide a basis for the development of a classification of beliefs about childhood illnesses
