[Mental disorders and their characteristics in neuro-infectious diseases with a severe course].

A study of patients with severe forms of neuroinfections permitted to follow up the development of psychopathological syndromes and detect some correlations between their structures and the traits of the different stages of the disease. At the acne of the disease there are frequent and severe syndromes of disturbed consciousness with the prevalence of deep unconscious states compared to the more obliviated productive variants in the framework of exogenous types of psychic reactions. On the eventual stages of the disease there are distinct correlations between the severity of the acute period and the formation of more expressed variants of the psychoorganic syndrome (organic brain syndrome). Extensive possibilities to a regressive development of the above-mentioned mental disorders are determined by such factors as young age, due time and comprehensive therapy with the use of psychopharmacological drugs and individual rehabilitative methods.
