[Nosologic independence and features of the treatment of alcoholic paraphrenia].

The report deals with a study of 16 patients with alcoholic paraphrenia and 30 patients where the paraphrenic syndrome was a stage in Gaiie-Wernicke's encephalopathy, alcoholic paranoid state and alcoholic pseudoparalysis. Alcoholic paraphrenia was more frequently expressed in the form of systematized and confabulatory forms with a monotonous and primitive delusion accompanied by a psychoorganic syndrome. In the complex treatment injections of bijochinal (up to 40-50 ml) were used; this brought about a sufficient resocialization of the patients.
