title: [Therapeutic approaches to the treatment of febrile schizophrenia].
abstract: Analysis of the literature data on the use of various therapeutic approaches to the treatment of febrile schizophrenia has shown that so far psychiatry does not possess such methods of treatment which could allow the complete prevention of lethal outcomes in this disease. The article describes a new original approach to the treatment of patients with febrile schizophrenia, aimed at the correction of homeostatic disturbances with the complete refusal from neuroleptics in the febrile period of an attack. This therapeutic approach proved highly effective in 24 out of 26 patients and enabled preventing lethal outcomes in all cases. Study of the characteristics of febrile schizophrenia based on the authors' own observations and case reports made it possible to identify three variants of the time-course of the febrile attack. The article also considers the specificities of therapy with respect to the identified variants of the time-course of febrile attacks.
