title: [Determination of the erythrocytoplasma lithium ratio. Analytical considerations and clinical applications (author's transl)].
abstract: During eleven months the authors studied the erythrocytoplasma lithium ration in 46 patients on chronic lithium maintenance. They observed that the individual variations of this ratio are of the same magnitude in "cycloid psychosis" and in chronic schizophrenia. But, furthermore these variations are significantly more important than in neurosis. They report that this ratio increases significantly in manic depressive illness during the active manic or depressive phases, and they compare their results to those of the literature.
