Schneider's first rank symptoms (FRS) among schizophrenics in Karachi are compared with samples from Saudi Arabia and the UK. Although the incidence of one or more FRS were very close to Saudi Arabia, the individual FRS were different, and somatic passivity was similar to the UK. It is concluded that cultural factors are more important than religious affinity in determining symptomatology. The results could be due to selection of schizophrenic patients on Western parameters. The place of FRS in developing countries and the changing concept of schizophrenia is discussed.
对卡拉奇精神分裂症患者的施奈德首级症状（FRS）与来自沙特阿拉伯和英国的样本进行了比较。尽管一种或多种FRS的发生率与沙特阿拉伯非常接近，但各个FRS有所不同，而躯体被动体验与英国相似。得出的结论是，在决定症状学方面，文化因素比宗教关联更为重要。结果可能归因于根据西方参数选择精神分裂症患者。文中还讨论了FRS在发展中国家的情况以及精神分裂症不断变化的概念。
