title: [Various features of paroxysmal-progressive schizophrenia associated with alcoholism according to the results of dispensary observation].
abstract: The studied group of patients with alcoholism-combined schizophrenia with a progressive paroxysmal course was divided into two subgroups depending on the fact which of the diseases was the first to affect the patient. In Group I patients, paroxysms at the beginning of disease continued to retain their alcoholic pathoplastics. Remissions in these patients were mostly psychopathlike. Alcoholization in well-advanced stages, despite its less marked nature, continued to persist which was reflected in the specific personality changes characterized by some "organic touch". In patients of Group II, alcoholism remained secondary at all stages of disease and was one of the symptoms of endogenous process. There were no differential diagnostic difficulties similar to those seen in Group I, since the very first paroxysms included numerous signs suggestive of schizophrenia. Remissions observed in this group were thymopathic and hypothymic.
