[Death caused by a bolus at a psychiatric hospital].
Among 2000 dead we found a frequency of death by bolus of about 1% in neuropsychiatric patients in the course of 17 years. Severe oligophrenia mostly combined with epilepsy was leading with almost 50% followed by depressive syndrome, schizophrenia and dementia. Organic cerebral lesion, disorders of activity and vigilance, longterm psychopharmacotherapy, alteration of condition by acute internal disease and perhaps disorders of the liver are considered to be risks of death by bolus.
