Hemoperfusion in chronic schizophrenics: a critical report.
Ten chronic schizophrenic patients were treated with hemoperfusion on a weekly or twice weekly basis for 6 to 10 weeks. Two of the patients improved markedly, while the condition of three of them deteriorated. These findings indicate that this method might not be of general usefulness in the treatment of chronic schizophrenic patients.
