Clinical Aspects of Comorbidity of Coronovirus Infection and Paranoid Schizophrenia

Abstract

On the example of 65 patients with paranoid schizophrenia, the effect of coronavirus infection on this group of patients was studied. It has been established that coronavirus infection can manifest itself in patients with paranoid schizophrenia in the form of transient psychoses, which are represented by schizophrenic symptoms, as well as clinical manifestations of confusion syndromes. An assumption was made about the possibility of coronavirus infection to influence different links of pathogenesis, during the formation of psychotic disorders in this group of patients.
