The use of anabolic steroids by athletes to increase physical performance has vastly increased over the last 10 years. A case is described which temporally relates the use of these organic compounds with the development of an acute schizophreniform illness. The dearth of literature on this particular "side-effect" is noted, as are the diagnostic implications vis-a-vis anabolic steroids and the anamnestic interview in an athlete who presents with an acute schizophrenic mental status examination. Recommendation is made to consider this "side-effect" in differential diagnosis of schizophrenic episode.
在过去十年中，运动员使用合成代谢类固醇以提高身体机能的情况大幅增加。本文描述了一个案例，该案例在时间上将这些有机化合物的使用与急性精神分裂症样疾病的发展联系起来。文中指出了关于这种特殊“副作用”的文献匮乏情况，以及在对呈现急性精神分裂症精神状态检查结果的运动员进行诊断时，合成代谢类固醇和既往史访谈的诊断意义。建议在精神分裂症发作的鉴别诊断中考虑这种“副作用”。
