Abstract

Two cased of Capgras syndrome are reported in which platelet monoamine oxidase (MAO) activity is singificantly less than that of 24 psychiatric controls and 39 nonpsychiatric controls. This is the first report of a consistent biochemical abnormality associated with the Capgras phenomenon. Additional evidence is discussed which suggests that psychiatric patients with Capgras syndrome may belong to a discrete group of behavioral disorders characterized by reduced platelet MAO activity.

摘要

本文报告了两例卡普格拉综合征患者，其血小板单胺氧化酶（MAO）活性显著低于24名精神科对照者和39名非精神科对照者。这是首次报告与卡普格拉现象相关的一致生化异常。文中还讨论了其他证据，这些证据表明患有卡普格拉综合征的精神科患者可能属于一组以血小板MAO活性降低为特征的离散行为障碍。
