[The influence of epileptic predisposition on clinical features of schizophrenia in patients after delirium tremens].

Abstract excerpt

153 patients with schizophrenia in combination with alcoholic delirium were examined. Latent epilepsy has been found in 36 patients (23.5%). The basis of the epileptic seizures during alcoholic delirium was hereditary epileptic predisposition. Frequency of the progredient course was high while that of the favourable--recurrent course of schizophrenia was low in these cases.
