    Abstract:
    The authors review febrile attacks of schizophrenia and the febrile period of the malignant neuroleptic syndrome in schizophrenia. Twenty-five schizophrenia patients were observed to establish the effect of the ECT on their status. The ECT was found to be highly effective in combination with intensive infusion therapy aimed at the correction of homeostasis. It was revealed that the prognosis and efficacy of the use of the ECT is determined by the stage of the development of febrile condition, the leading syndrome and the gravity of somatovegetative disorders. The use of the ECT was ineffective in cases where the development of a febrile attack reaches the level of amential dull consciousness.
