title: [Psychiatric morbidity in patients hospitalized for AIDS: experiences in a Quebec hospital].
abstract: Neuropsychiatric complications in AIDS patients are common and have been reported in many recent articles. The author reviewed the medical charts of 80 patients admitted for AIDS between April 1984 and April 1988 to determine the frequency and nature of psychiatric complications in these patients and to compare these with recent reports made by other authors. The most frequent complications requiring psychiatric intervention seem to be organic mental disorders and adjustment disorders. Practical conclusions are drawn.
