  • Title: [Attack-like course of schizophrenia in light of remote follow-up].
    Author: Kontsevoi VA, Sudareva LO.

    Abstract:
    On the basis of a follow-up study of 146 schizophrenic patients preserving the development in the form of outlined attacks up to senility it was established that the recurrent development occurs only in 7.8% of the cases (more rarely than in the general population of schizophrenic patients). In some cases the transition from a recurrent development to an attack-like progressive form was observed. In most patients with recurrent schizophrenia in the late age the attacks cease. The analysis of the patients with attack-like progressive schizophrenia showed that the increase of defect occurred only in young and middle age and despite the repeated recurrence in involutional age and senility, the development of the disease on the whole remains non-progressive.
